A year ago today, the then Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, stood up in parliament and announced the temporary "pausing" of refugee family reunion. 12 months on, the route is still shut, and @refugeecouncil.bsky.social estimates more than 20,000 people have been prevented from applying.

Every year, @publicissues.bsky.social offers full-time year-long paid internships. They are a brilliant development opportunity for young Christians interested in justice and politics, and make a huge contribution to our team. We're now recruiting for a September start: jpit.uk/internship

Amazing: we've now had over 350 local leaders from across different faith groups support our letter to the Home Secretary, calling for a rethink on plans to permanently curtail refugee family reunion. Please can you share - and if you're a faith leader (self defined!), then sign up too. Thanks!

Energised by a brilliant Christian Aid lecture on Economics for the Common Good, by the tour de force who is @mazzucatom.bsky.social. It gave me hope about the many ways in which things can be transformed, if we begin to seize on what we are actually trying to do as a society. Thank you #CALecture25
