🥳🥳 Last week the ECHR ruled a gay man must not be deported to Iran to spend his life hiding his sexuality in order to be safe.
He must be allowed to rebuild his life!❤️
A HUGE WIN for LGBT+ asylum seekers in Europe!

Why are so many people so convinced that letting Billionaires do whatever the hell they want and pay no tax will improve their working lives and lift them from poverty?

I find it soo interesting that while UK media was ALL OVER this Albania deal when it was being (falsely) credited with reducing arrivals to Italy before it even started & Starmer was eyeing it up
This *teeny tiny little hiccup* is… not getting quite so much attention🤨 #r4today

Among the worst of many bad things done by the Tories was the abject treatment of victims of modern slavery and trafficking - both cynically exploiting their plight as “justification” for the Rwanda scheme whilst threatening many of them with removal to Rwanda & abandoning the rest to endless limbo
Home Office hires 200 staff to clear huge backlog of UK modern slavery cases
More than 23,000 files were left open by the last government, says minister, with delays of up to four years in assigning victim status

Yesterday, Shelagh Fogarty kindly let me talk quite emotionally on her show about a 4-month-old baby who drowned in the Channel.
We talked about why Starmer’s Labour won’t act to save even drowning children & babies.
And it hurt to do it.

I came to the UK as an Afghan refugee. The far-right riots remind me of the hatred I fled
As thousands of counter-protesters took to the streets last week to defend immigrants and minority communities, I felt hope seeing many stand for tolerance and acceptance
