Starmer and Macron are hashing out the refugee “exchange” plan today: for the UK to send an asylum seeker crossing the Channel back to France, in exchange for someone with UK family ties. It’s grotesque that what is effectively a human trade is so legitimised and normalised.

Witnesses say Israeli forces opened fire on people near distribution point run by Israel-backed foundation More than 20 people were killed on Sunday as they went to receive food at an aid distribution point set up by an Israeli-backed foundation in the Gaza Strip, according to a hospital run by the Red Cross that received the bodies. Witnesses told the Associated Press that Israeli forces had opened fire on people as they headed toward the aid distribution site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). “There were many martyrs, including women,” the 40-year-old resident said. “We were about 300 metres away from the military.” Continue reading...

A mass lobby is when a group of people contact their MP or contact members of the House of Lords and arrange to meet them in parliament on the same day and at the same time.

It's a great way of making it clear to parliamentarians that their constituents (or in the case of the House of Lords, UK citizens) are passionate about an issue, and is an effective way of encouraging them to take action.

WE WILL BE RELEASING INFORMATION PACKSTRANS+ OR ALLY WE NEED YOU!

The Equalities and Human Rights Commission has produced a draft code of guidance to the Equality Act that - if implemented - will have a devastating impact on the day to day lives of trans+ people in the UK, excluding them from settings ranging from specialist support services to gym changing rooms and toilets.

We need our parliamentarians to step up and speak out NOW to prevent this draft guidance becoming law.

The Disability and Migration Network rejects, in the strongest possible terms, the Government's  'Restoring Control over the Immigration system' White Paper and the racist logic that underpins it. The government is attacking migrants using the same narratives of 'productivity' and 'contribution to society' which which it justifies devastating welfare cuts. While we should never rely on elected politicians alone to deliver a socially just society, the recent White Paper is a stark reminder of how important it is for us to resist the scapegoating of migrants and Disabled people together
