The government has rushed out another cruel anti-migrant policy to appeal to Reform voters.

Humanity is not a transaction, nor something anyone should be forced to earn.

We should be proud to give people the chance to build their lives here.

It's wrong to demand migrants prove their worth to the UK
There is no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ migrant, only human beings.

Kick Big Oil Out of Plastics Talks
Fossil fuel companies want to keep flooding our home with plastic for profit. They’re trying to block action to tackle plastic pollution - we must stop them.

The huge presence of these plastic-loving lobbyists threatens the Global Plastics Treaty.

They don’t want real solutions, all they want is more profits.

Tell the UN to kick them out of the plastics talks now👇

Today, people power stopped Fatou's deportation again!

Thanks to everyone’s solidarity, Fatou’s deportation was cancelled at the 11th hour today. We understand that she has been taken back to Yarls Wood detention centre, after her ordeal at Heathrow Airport.

Today I have called for a Chilcot-style inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza.

Our concerns have routinely been met with evasion and silence. We need a full, public, independent inquiry with the legal power to establish the truth. news.sky.com/story/starme...

We were warning about this when I worked at the anti-child trafficking charity Love146 last year. Since then the situation facing child refugees in the UK has got increasingly worse. It is not longer "if", but "when" more children get treated as adults.

30 mins to argue your case against the state trafficking you to Rwanda. On top of the already catastrophic collapse in Safe Routes & immigration advice. Braverman’s brutal border regime.
