It’s horrendous to speak about this but I feel that I have no choice. The NHS is crumbling in front of us and it’s dangerous. I can’t bear the thought of this happening to anyone else.

Gov data shows that most crossing channel are refugees seeking sanctuary with no other option due to lack of safe routes.
This is in direct opposition to the views of 276 councillors (maj Labour) from across England/Wales who signed our letter rejecting the foul Rwanda plans.
'This is a problem made under their watch'
Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves MP says that illegal immigration has been on the increase whilst Conservatives have been in government and calls the lack of deportations "12 years of Tory failure"

After 4 hours of resistance and a crowd of 200 people they’re letting our neighbour go! People power wins. We’re shouting ‘don’t come back to Peckham!’

If you are interested in taking action against racist raids and deportations come and say hi tomorrow on Walthamstow market! Our stall will be by the library from 11-1 serving free cake, pastries, and information about your rights!
Seems like the home office are rattled. If you want to help build resistance to immigration raids in Lambeth and Southwark give us a shout! Big up @Antiraids_Ed @AntiRaids and everyone involved in the action yesterday!

Employers have a duty to ensure migrant workers get a contract they understand. But do they? In one beneficiary’s contract, the clause “I fully understand the terms of engagement” was translated to “I fully understand the terms of military action” 🙈

An emergency protest has been called tomorrow outside the home office at 6.30pm.
A threat to one of us is a threat to all of us. No more violent policing of borders, no more detention centres, no more channel deaths, no more deaths at the hands of the state.

This is exactly how the Hostile Environment works. It's why @JCWI_UK took the Home Office to court over Right to Rent. The policies causes racial discrimination for migrants AND British people of colour. Makes it harder to access safe housing or work. The govt. knows this.

I can speak for many families who've lost loved ones to Covid-19 in saying that the the hardest thing about Dominic Cumming's testimony is knowing that the pain we all feel now everyday could have been avoided

Just got stopped, dragged out the car, handcuffed and searched by feds, on the anniversary of George Floyd no less.
Then had to listen to one boast about having nine properties, and watch the other scream at youts nearby to shut up as they shouted ‘free up my man’.
Fuck police.

My mum has just worked as nurse throughout the pandemic, a year after qualifying. Got COVID at work. She recovered (we thank God) and went back to work. She's now decided to apply for a new role in a different setting and this is what was sent to her by the recruiter. @CWPT_NHS
