Council housing for all and a free Palestine 🇵🇸 and fuck proscription
This is similar to the attempts to make lifetime social housing tenancies temporary. Social landlords thought it was a great idea until they had 1,000s of tenancies to constantly renew ... At which point they pretty much all returned to lifetime tenancies again
The other reason is that the Home Office simply doesn’t have the resources to process each person‘s asylum claim several times over. It struggles to process the cases it‘s got. Delays are colossal. These proposals will hugely increase bureaucracy and cost, as well as the effects on people’s lives 4/

To explain briefly: at the moment people successful in their asylum claims get permission to stay in the UK for 5 years, then have to apply for permanent residency. At that point a review of their status is done, but it’s rare not to succeed at that point unless they‘ve committed an offence 1/
To reiterate, this is about making life immeasurably more miserable and stressful for some of the most vulnerable people, in the almost certainly vain hope of winning over the votes of racists.

Can't think of many better illustrations of how badly we have botched housing policy than the fact that our bill for housing homeless families (£2.8bn pa) is now higher than the money we spend each year on new affordable housing (£2.3bn)

English councils’ temporary accommodation bill rises to £2.8bn
Councils in England spent a record £2.8bn on temporary accommodation last year, with the annual bill rising by 25% as the homelessness crisis deepens.

Any help on this would be appreciated. We've been inundated with enquiries we cannot answer from academics, public sector workers and journalists about what they can and cannot say. One writer has been advised to temporarily stop promoting their book as it includes a chapter on Palestine Action
Does anyone have guidance on how the proscription of Palestine Action might affect academic freedom? The worrying part for scholars of Palestine/Israel would seem to be 'whether what you say about them could encourage others to support them'. Would appreciate info or links to existing discussions!
Palestine Action have been banned as a terrorist organisation in the UK.
Read our FAQ on the proscription and find out what this means in practice for campaigners.

The High Court judgement regarding Palestine Action's proscription and the enforcement of the order today from is the most extreme application of terrorism legislation we've yet seen in this country. It's so extreme, in fact, that it's causing the law itself to become openly incoherent. Thread🧵🔽

Ahead of the expected proscription of Palestine Action - the first time a protest group has been legally redefined as terrorist - I went through the Hansard of the 2000 Act they're being banned under. Turns out MPs were assured the law wouldn't be applied this way. Thread 🧵🔽
