Yet again we are grieving. Three people, including a child, died in the Channel due to Britain’s hostile border regime. These people deserved a life of freedom, dignity and abundance. This is not a migrant crisis, this is a crisis of humanity. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

To refugees: you are welcome here. We stand with you. Your safety matters. People wearing masks, marching through our streets and stoking fear, are unacceptable. It’s more than “thuggery”. It’s racism, walking boldly through our communities. And it's emboldened by political rhetoric.

In the final days of Keir Starmer’s leadership, his government is trying to force through yet another cruel and divisive asylum law. It won't stop Channel crossings or fix the broken asylum system. The new Prime Minister must scrap this bill as a first port of call.
White text on a black background stating: "Another PM leaving No. 10. Another immigration bill. Another political stunt." Below are three news article thumbnails. The first, from The Guardian, with the headline: "Asylum seekers to pay £10,000 towards living costs under new UK law.", and a photo of the home sec Shabana Mahmood. The second, from The Sunday Guardian, with the headline: "UK's New Immigration Bill: What is the New Asylum Rule?" The third from the BBC, with the headline "Refugees told to repay around £10,000 under new asylum rules."
