A new prime minister is an opportunity to change course on the government’s misguided, cruel and unworkable asylum and immigration policies. We need a humane asylum system that means people can be safe and can rebuild their lives.

With the final to come this weekend, players who took part in this World Cup were born into displacement. Behind some of football’s biggest names are stories of families forced to flee. But most refugees won’t become professional footballers—and they shouldn’t have to in order to deserve safety.

🚨Yesterday, the Immigration and Asylum Bill had its second reading in Parliament. This is an opportunity to debate the principles and core purpose of a proposed Bill. We know it's cruel, performative, and will cause huge harm to people seeking safety. Here's a snippet of what happened 👇 1/🧵

Pride is about the right to live openly and safely. Many LGBTQ+ people seeking asylum are often expected to provide evidence of their identity when claiming asylum. The very evidence they're asked for may be evidence they could never safely create. We stand with LGBTQ+ people seeking safety.🌈

The image features bold white text on a black background with a rainbow header displaying "LGBTQ+". The main text reads, "Asylum seekers are often asked to prove who they are." Below, smaller text says, "But what if hiding who you are is how you survived?" A small green arrow is at the bottom right.Text on a black background reads: "In more than 70 countries, LGBTQ+ identities are criminalised. For some, being open about who they are could lead to violence, imprisonment, or worse." A small green arrow is in the bottom right corner.The image has text on a black background. The main text reads: "That's why proving sexual orientation or gender identity can be so difficult." Below, smaller text reads: "The evidence people are asked for may be the very evidence they could never safely create." There's a small green arrow in the bottom right corner.Everyone deserves safety. Everyone deserves dignity. Everyone deserves the right to be themselves. Standing with LGBTQ+ refugees and asylum seekers, always.

👏👏 Timely intervention by Lord Dubs condemning Shabana Mahmood's nasty & counter-productive asylum plans. Cruelty towards migrants & refugees is never necessary or inevitable. It's always a political choice. If he is the new PM, Andy Burnham must bin these plans. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Remove home secretary Mahmood and rip up her asylum plans, says Alf Dubs

Exclusive: Veteran Labour peer who fled Nazis as a child attacks ‘performative cruelty’ of Shabana Mahmood’s policies

🌈 We're celebrating LGBTQ+ refugees and asylum seekers and their right to live openly, safely and with dignity. Pride is a celebration, but it’s also a protest to defend rights, which is more important than ever right now.

Text with a black background featuring the word "PRIDE" in rainbow colors followed by "means being free to be yourself. Everyone deserves that freedom" in bold white letters.
