They call it “earned settlement.”
We call it a hostile environment with a new name.

Lobby inside. Rally outside.
Settlement is a right.
Join us. Stand with migrant workers, refugees and families.

Just so we’re clear:
❌ Travelling clandestinely or in a small boat to seek asylum: wrong
❌ Travelling safely and regularly to seek asylum: also wrong
NEW: The ‘Lead Case’
On March 3rd, the first group of Lift The Ban campaigners attended westminster magistrates court for a case management hearing.
They’re charged under the UK Terrorism act for holding a paper sign.
Here’s how it went - short🧵
My much requested deep-dive into the latest immigration statistics begins!!
Part 1: What is the gender & age breakdown of asylum seekers?
The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.
The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.
"The system tells us to shrink ouselves. To be less of who we are in order to belong."

Your 3-minute guide to today’s asylum policy changes
We all need a home. Take action today to stop newly-granted refugees being made homeless. Write to your MP!

This stinks at every level. What refugees desperately need after their claims are accepted is the stability to rebuild their lives. This change will cause immeasurable stress and anxiety to some of the most vulnerable people in the country
The cruel 'One-in, One-out' scheme needs to end immediately.
detentionaction.org.uk/2026/02/10/j...
This cruel change, which deliberately keeps people’s lives in limbo, will not deter men, women, children & families fleeing war, conflict & persecution from seeking protection in the UK.
What it WILL do is trap people in a constant state of instability & profoundly harm their mental health.
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.
Exc: As many as 80 Labour MPs are braced to oppose the home secretary's immigration policies
Dozens of backbenchers and ministers are understood to be hostile to Shabana Mahmood's reforms. After the Gorton by-election they're pushing for a "recalibration"

Labour MP Clive Lewis, "Keir Starmer is an interim PM"
"We need a radical reset, fundamental change"
"The tone of Starmer's Labour which I heard on the doorstep: you're not a Labour party I recognise, what happened to you"
"Labour under Keir Starmer is like a pound shop
Reform UK"

And hands off Iran!
Labour MP Clive Lewis doesn’t hold back on the Gorton and Denton result in this interview with ITV
📢"It’s like you have to choose between settlement and surviving."
Essential reading from @ramfel.bsky.social exposing how families are being punished simply for accessing the support they were legally entitled to.

The conversation about housing is all wrong.
For decades, governments haven’t built enough social homes. People are struggling. Yet refugees get blamed.
Our new video flips the narrative and focuses on the real issue.
Watch it. Share it. Let’s change the conversation.
Excellent write-up here from @suewilson91.bsky.social for @yorkshirebylines.co.uk on the practical & morally urgent changes we need to make to immigration policy
Imagine a govt willing to do what's best to protect migrants' rights AND benefit host communities
