This weekend saw Britain’s largest far-right demonstration with extremist views on full display. Many of us felt unsafe to be in London.
The Government’s response has been wholly inadequate. They must condemn these views for what they are, racist and dangerous.

What I saw at Saturday’s rally was racism, pure and simple. Labour won’t tackle it until we can call it what it is | Diane Abbott
Silence about the bigotry inherent in events like Tommy Robinson’s march will be seen by the thugs as tacit approval of their message, says Labour MP Diane Abbott

Barnardo's response to the suspension of refugee family reunion applications
We are deeply concerned by this week’s announcement of the suspension of the family reunification route, which will only make it harder for children to reunite with their parents in the UK.

It has helped survivors of torture and trafficking reunite or remain with their family in the UK.

Pandering to Reform over care workers is grubby and cheap.
Care homes are reliant on overseas staff. Without them, many will need to close their doors, leaving families and communities to suffer the consequences.

There absolutely needs to be more protection for people seeking asylum in general, but especially Home Office accommodation. It would also be helped if the media as a whole stopped broadcasting every single location, and painting a target on people's backs.
