Last week the Home Office announced new rules that will make it even harder to hold police officers accountable following use of force & misconduct.

Instead of listening to those bereaved by police violence, the Home Office is parroting the police lobby.

This will lead to more impunity & injustice
New rules will allow police misusing force in England and Wales to ‘walk away scot-free’
Critics say boosting protections for officers at misconduct cases, introduced after fatal shooting of Chris Kaba, will undermine rule of law

🔈 ‘Integration’ narratives are simply an internal border within states that reinforce second-class status, forcing people to abandon their cultures and identities to navigate into systems of oppression.

'Britain’s visa system is enabling modern-day slavery. Why are ministers making things worse?'

For #antislaveryweek, we wrote about how plans to double the waiting period to apply for settlement will only put workers at risk of exploitation and slavery for longer.

NEW🚨Labour’s increase to English language rules will do little but reinforce false stereotypes.

The gov.'s OWN impact assessment estimates a negligible effect - a decrease of 400-1500 visas, or 2-6%.

These changes reinforce politics of division that arbitrarily moves the goal posts on integration.
