What happens after Europe's NGOs are dismantled?
What happens after Europe's NGOs are dismantled?
What does Europe look like when independent civil society is silenced, sidelined or slowly starved out of existence? This is not dystopian fiction. It is the logical end-point of a trend already visible in Brussels and in several capitals: a deliberate effort to delegitimise, defund and constrain those who defend the public interest.

A devastating new blog about the interconnections between climate breakdown and border control. Sometimes I do wish we all worked on cheerier topics...
Afghan refugees are on the front line of climate hazards in Karachi, Pakistan. And the increasing threat of deportation is making them more vulnerable to those hazards.

The Government knows that they are cruel, unsafe and unsuitable.
This plan is chasing headlines. It puts closing hotels before people.
This move will undoubtedly cause harm and distress to people seeking safety here.
