It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

The Tories banned people arriving in the UK by “irregular” means (including trafficking victims) from Modern Slavery Act protections, and introduced powers to detain child refugees for up to 28 days.
At the absolute bare minimum, any legislation on immigration must reverse this.

After the last govt series of truly shocking, anti-law legislation, there is a sense of relief with this latest bill. However, also a strong feeling that this govt is leaning into prosecutions, bringing ppl into scope of deportation and generally ramping up FNOs as a 'folk devil'.

Feels like a long time since I delivered an in-person lecture, so nice to be in the room with ppl learning, instead of talking to a screen. And especially good to be teaching alongside Mercy at the uni where we both qualified. Feels like I have been on quite a journey since completing my MA at UEA!

Deportation charter flights have a notorious history of removing people who have lived here since childhood, separating families and putting people at risk. People being deported often have inadequate access to legal advice before they are removed by force.

Govt appears to be aiming enforcement at children and families. Making life changing decisions about the trajectory of children's lives without procedural protections that have regard to the unique experiences, and the views of impacted children is shameful.
