Some personal news…
🧵Our Director, Bella Sankey, has made the decision to step down after more than four years at Detention Action.
In Bella's time as Director, Detention Action's impact has grown enormously. In the last four years, we have:

This was a
@bhlabour
initiative when we were last in control in 2019.
It then wasn’t implemented by
@BHGreens
. So now we’re back in control, we’re implementing it.
So pleased this is happening. The difference
@UKLabour
makes in power. 🌹

After the scandal of grooming in Rochdale it’s sickening to see young people being left to the wolves once again while those responsible for their protection look the other way.
The hotel must be closed down. Unaccompanied children placed straight into foster care. End of. 3/3

I spoke with
@theipaper
about the costs of childcare and the economic case for genuinely affordable or universal provision.
If the Government wants to scrap childcare support then it's "anti-growth". Childcare is vital social infrastructure. There is no growth plan without it.

@SadiqKhan
I’ve written to Patrick Verwer, CEO of Govia Thameslink Railway, calling on him to run a train service to

for

.
GTR’s decision to cancel the service is unacceptable & must be urgently reversed. 1/2

I’m so proud that
#Brighton
has schools & nurseries of sanctuary.
Fresh from platforming vile misogyny last week,
@GBNEWS
hit job on
@CityofSanctuary
last night is shameful.
We are so much better than this.

When you’re cancelling your float at
#BrightonPride
that should tell you you’ve taken a wrong turn…
Come on GTR, rediscover some values + principles and rearrange train services to our City. 🚆🏳️🌈🌅
🚨 After cancelling all services to Brighton Pride, GTR has decided to pull its float from the parade:
"Taking into consideration that this will upset many people...it will not be safe for us to take part this year and we are pulling our float from the parade."

As my husband said this morning “that’s the most racist thing I’ve ever heard.”
Diane Abbott is a history-maker & has been subjected to more racism than any politician in the UK’s history.
The Tory line to take this morning, confirms they are an extremism-fuelled Party.
To my recollection, these Frank Hester comments are the most overtly racist [published] remarks by any figure linked to one of the major political parties in this (21st) century.
To say they are not racist much more of an insult than an apology + a big problem of party culture

I’m so proud of my friend Toufique, his outstanding legal team & all the committed lawyers who worked to achieve this outcome.
The Court of Appeal judgment today is historic.
Unlawful. Inhumane. Shaming.
The modern Conservative Party debases us all.
SO proud of this team & overjoyed by the result. Thankful to our magnificent counsel team for all their work. The fight may not be over, but today is a good day for refugee rights, the rule of law & for anyone who resists extreme policies targeting those in need of protection.
