- 🚨 We are horrified by the disturbing footage of the response to peaceful protests in two detention centres against the harmful 'one in, one out' UK-France deal . www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... 1/3
- “I’ve not been able to sleep since it started...you know that people are out there protesting and my family might be one of them" Good piece @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social about the hopes and fears Iranians in Sheffield have about #IranUprising2026 www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/fraught-with...
- Resist
- I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
- Doubting survivors and tightening evidence does not strengthen protections for people trapped in modern slavery. It weakens them. Data shows many refusals are overturned on review. Our laws should amplify justice not silence the vulnerable. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

- For many of those seeking asylum a mobile phone isn't just a lifeline to keep in contact with loved ones, it's an essential resource in accessing information and resources. State mandated theft is another example of Labour's dehumanisation of people seeking safety www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
- As an Iranian SYMAAG speaker said at the Sheffield protest today "it's for the people of Iran and Venezuela to determine their future not those who would turn their countries back into colonies". Full SYMAAG statement here⬇️ facebook.com/symaag.perso... #HandsOffVenezuela

- Good piece on what it's like to live in a hotel for someone claiming asylum. "You don't know when you're going to get out of this toxic place". 10 people to a room, no privacy, no autonomy. No place for anyone who has been through trauma. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

- It was South Yorkshire's David Blunkett who as Home Secretary removed their right to work in 2003 and echoed Thatcher saying asylum seekers were "swamping" local services. BNP leader Griffin described Blunkett as "our best recruiting sergeant". 22 years on have Labour learned nothing?
