Cruelty isn’t a solution - and it’s not a distraction we should fall for.

The real issues we face - fixing the NHS, building affordable housing, reducing wealth inequality - are not solved by making life harder for people seeking safety.

Members of the House of Lords backed the right to work for people seeking asylum - now we need the Govt to do the same.

Today is the last day to email Asylum Minister Alex Norris MP and call for full working rights after 6 months.
