Write to your MP: Allow physical proof of immigration status What's the problem? Until recently, migrants from outside the EU had physical documents to prove that they and their families could live, work or study in the UK. These could be physical cards or…

The eVisa scheme is a mess, but there's a simple fix.

The Home Office must introduce a secure backup that's accessible offline in the event of digital system failure.

Write to your MP, telling them to allow physical proof of immigration status ⬇️

Under the UK eVisa scheme, “the digital-only status has proven unreliable and inconsistent."

"When the system doesn’t work, people are left stranded and unsupported."

"No one should lose their rights because of a technical glitch.”

UK Privacy Erosion Sparks EU Civil Society Call to Review Data Deal European civil society organisations have written to European Commissioner, Michael McGrath over concerns about the erosion of privacy and data protection in the UK.

Last week, ORG joined Edri and @privacyinternational.org‬ in warning that this attack on privacy threatens the UK’s future trade and collaboration with Europe.

Losing our adequacy status when the government is trying to grow the economy would be disastrous.

Dangerous Data Bill Affects Us All, Not Just Creative Industries Digital rights campaigners, the Open Rights Group have warned that the Data Use and Access Bill contains dangerous provisions that will not only make it harder for people to have control over their…

🚨 BREAKING: DATA RIGHTS 🚨

Parliament has passed the Data Bill, which contains dangerous changes to data protection law.

People will now have less control over their personal data. That means more automated decision-making and less accountable data sharing.

www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releas...

Quote from James Baker, ORG Programme Manager – Platform Power: "At a time when people increasingly feel they aren’t in control, Government has made it easier for Big Tech to make automated decisions about us."

The passing of the Data Bill is a power grab from the public to the powerful.

Organisations will now be able to do more things with your personal data and you'll have less ability to push back.

Write to your local council: Ban ‘Crime-Predicting’ Police Tech Police are using so-called “crime-predicting” technology to surveil and monitor us - without our consent! Police use these technologies to target people and neighbourhoods BEFORE crimes take place.…

We have the right to be presumed innocent, not predicted guilty.

Our liberties mustn't be taken away in a biased game of probability based on flawed police data.

Tell your councillor: BAN predictive policing in your community ⬇️

Why ‘Predictive’ Policing Must be Banned The UK Government is trying to use algorithms to predict which people are most likely to become killers using sensetive personal data of hundreds of thousands of people.

'Crime-predicting' police tech is on the rise 📈

These tools use data of what the police have done before to decide who to target for surveillance.

It automates police racism and discrimination against already overpoliced communities.

It must be banned ⬇️

Seyed Marandi: "When you want to speak on behalf of the Israelis there's not need for all these confirmations, but when its Palestinians or Iranians or Lebanese everything has to be confirmed and by the time they're confirmed its all over"

"In our neighbourhood, in other neighbourhoods, the Israeli regime used missiles to bomb apartment buildings. A large number of women and children have been killed"

Seyed Marandi describes the impact of Israels unprovoked attack.

Ori Goldberg speaking from Israel: "Israel has struck unilaterally & in unprovoked fashion against Iran... the main reasons for conducting this strike now.. is mostly as a diversion to draw the worlds attention from what is happening in Gaza"

Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn The world could have stopped the genocide in Gaza. Instead, governments — including our own — allowed Israel to act with total impunity. Israel’s reckless strikes on Iran are the product of that impunity. They represent a shameful failure of global leadership. And they are a threat to the safety of humankind across the world. Our government needs to wake up, end its complicity in Israeli war crimes and defend international law. That is how we bring about urgent de-escalation, end the genocide and stop the world from being dragged into a catastrophic, nuclear war. We are all human beings on one planet. Surely that is enough to try and bring about a world of peace. 9:20 AM · Jun 13, 2025

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, former President & current leader of the Justicialist Party, is the latest victim of political victimisation via lawfare. This trend, of imprisoning one's political opponents through utterly prejudicial pseudo-juridical means, must end! Everywhere

Trump to ramp up transfers to Guantánamo, including citizens of allies The administration aims to send thousands of foreigners to Guantánamo, including people from Britain and France, with no plans to notify their home governments.

Trump administration planning major increase of Guantánamo deportations, including citizens of Britain, France and other allies www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The Trump admin says the plan is necessary due to a need to free up capacity at domestic detention facilities which have been flooded with new detainees. A US doc says “GTMO is not at capacity" (tho it has been plagued by capacity issues in the past). Props to
@Politico for pubbing the scoop first.

NEW: The Trump admin has plans to send thousands of foreigners to Guantanamo beginning as early as this week, including citizens of close allies UK & France, with no intention of notifying their home governments in advance, per sources and documents
