🧵This is the biggest attack on the rights of recognised refugees in recent memory & is reminiscent of the worst failed policies of the disastrous last govt. People seeking safety need security in order to start over, but this govt seems to want to forget that there are people at the centre of this.

The discourse seems to have lost some time ago the point that coming without permission if you are a refugee is actually something we are committed under international law to accepting and responding positively to, not something Ministers ahould be rejecting and stoking resentment towards.
Join us tonight at 5pm at Sheffield Town Hall. Change in Iran must come from the Iranian people not from US/Israeli bombs. Hands off Iran. Stop forcing people to become refugees #Iran #IranMassacre
"Britain has been dragged into another war because our Prime Minister would rather appease Donald Trump than stand up for international law. War is not a game. This shameful decision makes Britain complicit in the devastating consequences ahead - and jeopardises the safety of us all" - Jeremy Corbyn
Thinking of the Iranian community in South Yorkshire and their friends and families in Iran. It's for the people of Iran to determine their future not those who would turn their country back into a colony and force more Iranians to become refugees. #IranMassacre #IranWar #Iran
An important reminder that an asylum system that works better for all of us is possible - and it starts with giving people seeking sanctuary the right to work Well done to the amazing Sheffield Lift The Ban group for their brilliant campaigning towards this vital goal 👏

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
Doubting survivors and tightening evidence does not strengthen protections for people trapped in modern slavery. It weakens them. Data shows many refusals are overturned on review. Our laws should amplify justice not silence the vulnerable. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...
