Good to see numerous Labor MPs reject the Starmer government's proposal to Trump-ify UK asylum policy.
Plans to leave refugees in a state of perpetual uncertainty about where and if they can rebuild their lives are not just performative cruelty, they are counterproductive to integration and the economy. It doesn’t have to be like this - there is a better way forward rooted in

Cupich’s bold stand comes after Pope Leo urged U.S. bishops to speak clearly on immigration. Now the pressure is on the rest.
