In Kherson, a clearly marked UN vehicle delivering aid to civilians was hit by two drone strikes. Earlier this week, another UN aid truck was struck in the Dnipro region. Humanitarians risk their lives to reach people in need. Civilians and aid workers must be protected. They are #NotATarget.

End Deportations Belfast @enddbelfast.bsky.social · 27/04/2026
End Deportations Belfast are one of around 150 groups across the UK to sign this Asylum Matters letter to the PM covered in today’s Daily Mirror. The handcuffing of children is just one element of cruelty. This is the weaponisation of children to inflict border violence.

Today is a dark day for anyone who believes in sanctuary in the UK. People who've fled war and torture should be able to rebuild their lives in peace and security - not live under a constant threat of removal. We must not stop fighting these appalling anti-refugee laws.

The Government wants to cut child poverty & educational inequality. But at the same time it's baking poverty and trauma for children into its migration policy. We're proud to join children's charities, social workers & lawyers in saying: every child's rights matter. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
Image of a child holding a drawing of the world with people on it, with the text "children's rights under attack. Radical overhauls of the immigration system threaten safety and security of thousands of children, babies and young people say charities, social workers and lawyers" imposed over it. Behind the child is a messy field containing litter and tents.

Yesterday, the House of Lords debated changes to the asylum system that will make more people destitute. These changes are part of a wider government plan to further weaponise destitution as a means of immigration control. This is grotesque.

Stripping support from people seeking safety while continuing to ban most people from working is outrageous. People seeking asylum receive £1.40 a day in hotels, or £7 a day in houses. These poverty-inducing levels of support push people into exploitation and irregular work to survive.

Today's speech by the Home Secretary marks a dangerous shift to a system where rights are negotiable, discrimination becomes policy & state coercion is reframed as a cost-cutting measure. If the Government continues down this path, it will not outflank the far-right but normalise it.
