Do deterrence policies stop people from fleeing? The Rwanda policy, Bibby Stockholm, ban on work and countless others show they do not. People leave because they have no choice.

Hey Keir Starmer, get the memo?
We’ve delivered thousands of messages to Number 10 from our supporters, with the help of some digi-vans!
People are fed up with politicians choosing failed policies and scapegoating over investing in all communities. Time for real change.

📢Dispatches from Calais today:
As the UK government begins detaining people under its “one in, one out” policy, our Racial Justice researchers are on the ground, speaking with people who could be subject to this inhumane policy next.
What we’re witnessing is fear, uncertainty and cruelty.

Companies such as Clearsprings, Mears and Serco have lucrative contracts with the Home Office. They're profiting from asylum while placing people in harmful housing. It’s making people sick.
Families face overcrowding, malnutrition, mould, intrusive room searches and attacks by racist groups.

It’s time to invest in communities and social homes, not private pockets.
The government is handing money to companies that make huge profits from housing people seeking safety in appalling conditions.
But this could be used to fund a joined-up, local approach to housing people seeking safety.

The government's annual report card is in...
And they won’t be top of the class this year.
❌Work ban still in place
🤞Promising changes in asylum housing
🟡Rwanda scrapped, but hostile policies remain
❌Same scapegoating tactics
One good mark doesn’t fix a failing report.
