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

Women for Refugee Women : Morally and ethically bankrupt: Our response to the Government's announcement 17 November 2026 The Government has announced sweeping plans to overhaul refugee protection in the UK -  some of the most hostile we have seen in recent years. We are outraged, saddened, and extremely concerned.

🚨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.

The arts have been stolen from us by corporate greed and financiers of war.

It’s time for us to take back what belongs to all of us.

Our new music festival, powered by Music For The Many, is coming 4-6 June 2026.

June is Pride Month. Let's call out companies who show support for LGBTQ+ people while also advertising on GB News, a channel that pumps out LGBTQ+ hate. Tell these companies to pick a side - hate or Pride:

Councils going bankrupt; huge housing crisis; privatisation & marketisation wrecking the NHS, public services, transport & education - and the energy companies are ripping us off. We’re building again, because we have to.

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 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 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

Racist data in, racist policing out.

Our new report exposes how police use of technology to “predict crime” means thousands are being racially profiled.

It is automated racism. And it must be banned.
