    One reason Priti Patel plans to place all asylum seekers in detention camps instead of housing them in the community is to stop their neighbours getting to know them. Similarly the Hostile Environment drives people underground by banning them from renting and working.

    EU citizens are being detained and deported Who is going to stand against mass detention and deportation?

    Detaining EU🇪🇺 citizens in UK immigration centres is NOT in line with the Withdrawal Agreement & not the spirit of good cooperation expected. Together with my RO colleagues, I sent a letter to & asking for urgent measures & fair treatment.

    The Home Office needs to ask itself hard questions after today. Doing this on Eid, in the heart of our Muslim community, and in the midst of a serious Covid outbreak was staggeringly irresponsible - but the even deeper problem is an appalling asylum & immigration policy.

    Remember this isn't a one-off immigration raid, the and tear families apart every day. This time, the main difference was that community members reached out, and people turned in numbers.

    Having spent hours trying to get Home Office to abandon their operation, without success, I am pleased Police Scot intervened on public safety & health grounds to release individuals involved. But let me be clear, the Hostile Environment created by UK Govt is not welcome here.

    Calorie labelling on menus is ineffective, and dangerous to people affected by eating disorders. We’ve drafted a letter asking your MP to oppose this legislation - take action here:

    We are extremely disappointed that the Govt has continued with these plans, despite clear evidence it is ineffective and dangerous to people affected by eating disorders. We urge parliamentarians to protect people with EDs and oppose this legislation.

    💯 THIS

    When we made “THE VOTE” as a wee election night TV drama, the concept that moved me most in the research was how our democracy is all based on trust. And when you trust people it’s rewarded. There is no voter fraud problem in the UK. Altering that social contract is abhorrent /1
