Graphic saying: International Womenβs Day
Policies designed to deter migration often place migrant women at greater risk of poverty, exploitation, and abuse.
πΌ Work restrictions
Women on many visa types or with insecure status face limited access to work, increasing financial dependence and vulnerability.
π βNo Recourse to Public Fundsβ
Many migrant women cannot access basic support like housing or benefits, even when escaping abuse.
βοΈ Barriers to safety
Fear of immigration enforcement can prevent women from reporting domestic violence or seeking help.
π©βπ§ Impact on families
Migrant mothers are more likely to face poverty and instability due to restrictions on work and support.
On International Womenβs Day, support and empower migrant women
Women are often disproportionately impacted by hostile immigration policies. They can leave them in poverty and at risk of abuse and violence.
This #Internationalwomensday show your support for migrant women by fighting for their rights.

Young adults face unemployment, low wages, debt.
Govt can help, adopt Scottish policies
No university tuition fees.
No prescription charges (also in Wales)
Free bus travel for the under-22s, many on low minimum wage.
Treating young adults in England as second class is a political choice.

So much that could be said on the 4th anniversary of the full scale invasion, but it all just boils down to the ultimate admiration for Ukrainians who have endured so much, fought so hard and deserve victory, peace and prosperity. Slava Ukraini!

Bonjour, I have had a lazy start to the day, cup of tea in bed. Not normal for a Monday morning. Still adjusting to French living. Sun is shining lighting up the Mimosa tree in my neighbours garden. Tres beau.

So very sad to lose it, spent many of my childhood summers there in the late in the 70s. Either in a chalet or at my grandparents caravan- simpler times. #Norfolk #coastal-erosion

UK government finances better than expected in January
The government took in more from tax receipts than expected, official data suggests.
UK govt finances better than expected in January.
Ridiculous single statistic obsession.
Must prioritize public welfare.
Unemployment rising, millions in poverty, unfit roads, unaffordable housing, NHS queues, deindustrialization, endemic profiteering.
Can't rejuvenate without public investment.
