I really didn't like the previous government, but also they didn't retrospectively change the ILR rules to force immigrants who'd followed all the rules to leave the country, have a lifetime ban on citizenship for refugees, stop Ukrainians ever getting ILR or ban trans people from public toilets.

Sadly it is official, my current employment contract finishes at the end of March. It has been a fantastic three years at Migrant Voice. If you, or someone you know, knows of job opportunities for an experienced policy, advocacy and comms person, across multiple sectors, please do let me know.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.
Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.
