A number of workers sponsored under the Home Office's Skilled Worker scheme are now receiving positive decisions recognising them as victims of modern slavery.
The means of control has always included visa status and the sponsorship powers given to exploiters by the Home Office. /1

Today's Child Poverty Strategy leaves thousands of migrant children - 40% of all children in poverty - out in the cold.
Every child deserves the same chance to thrive.
Poverty is a political choice. The Govt's failure to act for all children falls short of the scale and urgency of the crisis.

I don't know why immigrants don't just go on strike. See how long the racists can cope without GP surgeries, nursing, deliveries, food being picked, clothes being made, warehouses being staffed, software being maintained, houses being built...

Our government and media are complicit in enabling racist violence, our latest report shows.
One year since the racist riots broke out across the UK, violence which has continued since, those in power cannot continue to deny their enabling role.

A hostile environment: language, race, surveillance and the media
A hostile environment: language, race, surveillance and the media is the second of two reports analysing parliamentary and media debates from 2010-2024, and shows how large sections of these debates encouraged widespread hostility to migrants.

People have genuine, serious, concerns which need to be recognised and addressed. The problem is they keep being told that these concerns are caused by immigration, and when you are struggling you will take what you can as a reason. This isn't to say people are stupid or racist, just struggling. 1/

The Telegraph recently ran a headline:
"More than one million foreigners claiming benefits."
Sounds shocking, right?
But what does it actually mean?

We don't defeat populists by calling out their lies. We tried that. Facts are complicated, and the audience for populism wants simplicity. It won't work.
We defeat populists by enacting bold political ideas that improve lives for the disenfranchised, and make the world seem less grotesquely unfair.

Behind all the immigration statistics are individual people's lives. Drops in "Dependent Visas" mean increases in families and loved ones being separated. When we talk about immigration only in terms of numbers, we ignore the people, and their experiences, behind them.

When you make it harder for people to get visas, work and live in a place you don't only harm the individual. When you push policies which affect people in your communities the whole community suffers. It goes the same for the country as a whole.
