This is an important read. "The UK government talks about “safe and legal routes” for refugees, while Palestinians continue to face some of the most restrictive barriers when trying to reunite with their families. The hypocrisy is hard to ignore..." tribunemag.co.uk/2026/09/the-...

It's worth celebrating any time a refugee makes it to safety. But reopening a route that this Government closed, with even more restrictions and 'small, capped' numbers will do almost nothing to address the numbers of people fleeing war & persecution forced to risk dangerous routes.

We've signed an open letter with 60 others including Foxglove, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International UK calling for a halt to the rollout of faulty AI 'Facial Age Estimation' (FAE) technology by the Home Office which consistently produces errors. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
independent.co.uk
Home Office knew AI age checks for migrants were flawed — but rolled it out anyway
Exclusive: Government advisors describe the tool as ‘hideously flawed’ amid concern facial age estimation has ‘baked-in racial bias’ — and can wrongly identify a 14-year-old as an adult
