Asylum is not illegal migration — So why is the UK Government treating it as such? nandosigona.info/2025/11/18/a...
The plans announced today are dog-whistle politics, plain and simple:
❌ Forces people into decades-long limbo
❌ Forcibly separates families and prevents people from rebuilding their lives
❌ Blocks the most marginalised from safety, stability and community
3/🧵
🚨The Home Secretary said "illegal migration is dividing our country."
Let’s be clear: the only thing dividing our country is a politics devoid of humanity and compassion.
The plans announced today are a cruel political choice. It is #NotInOurName.

When my kids were young it was when they had mince and potatoes with peas out of plastic picnic bowls (all mixed in together)... though they're grown now when they come they still ask me to cook this for them to reminisce!!!

A useful reality check for the media frenzy on Disabled people and work. We need government action to make work more accessible, not more training for Disabled people! What has your experience been?
A digital graphic from Difference North East features a quote criticizing the DWP job search system for failing disabled jobseekers. The quote, placed in a purple text box with white and bolded text, states: "In my personal opinion, I don’t think it’s acceptable that in the whole of the UK, there are only 21 remote jobs on the DWP’s own Find a Job service I could be ‘confident’ to apply for as a disabled person. Kendall is right about one thing – the system has become defined by poor experiences and low trust among many people who use it..." The background is a stylized collage with a blue-green tint
The DWP job search system is failing disabled jobseekers, creating systemic barriers to employment. Urgent reforms are needed to build an inclusive and supportive environment.

A sex worker on a protest holding a sign that reads "no bad whores, just bad laws." With a quote saying “The majority of the UK public wants the law to protect, not punish sex workers.” by Chiara Capraro, from Amnesty International UK.
🚨A NEW POLL released by Amnesty UK reveals that the majority of the public wants a total decriminalisation of sex work - which would make sex workers’ jobs much safer.
61% of UK adults believe it should no longer be a crime for two or more sex workers to work together. 🧵1/4
