Today’s budget simply doesn’t meet the scale of the challenges facing our country. You can’t build strong public services while proposing migration policies that drive out the people who deliver them. You can’t cut waiting lists without doctors, nurses, carers, & support staff who make the NHS run.

By mimicking Reform to win back support, the Labour government is making a serious mistake. This race to the bottom emboldens Farage, punishes vulnerable people, amplifies racism, and undermines those working to hold communities together.

⚠️ Following yesterday’s announcement by the Home Secretary to radically overhaul the UK asylum system, we condemn in the strongest terms the proposals made.
The scale and scope of the measures announced are abhorrent and represent a catastrophic threat to the right to refugee protection.
