Migrant help from the grassroots - it continues regardless of the insane politics at state level, and it always will.

Home Office claims migration policies/publicity are ‘compassionate’ when its own analyses of data on migrants to the uk shows the info is unreliable. New return agreements are with countries that clearly not safe. Keep fighting against these policies.

UK govt always headlines immigration policy with safe borders, sending back from ‘illegal routes’, dismantling people smuggling. Latest target Iraq. Still no safe routes. Still scapegoating the most vulnerable. Still ignoring their evidence. Still racist.

The UK will benefit from boosts to trade and further cooperation on tackling illegal migration as Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani visits Downing Street.

Meanwhile the reality of migration to the UK is too often like these stories: Lives are eaten away in the limbo of Home Office paperwork and incompetence. Everyday bordering is a crime against our common humanity. Join us to fight it in your communities.

Take the latest announcement: new surveillance technologies for the NCA, and celebrations of the deportations since they came to office. Nothing about supporting communities, reducing backlogs or enabling the positive contributions that migrants make 2/3.

The govenrment keeps making announcements about investment to 'tackle' migration. What it really means is that it will continue to ignore the lives of asylum seekers and migrants who face border controls in every area of their lives 1/3.

Going after the gangs? Really? Last week's news but still important. Home office raids have always caused fear and misery to victims. Employers fines go straight to the Home Office. No victims, no cash… Hmmm.

Border violence is not the answer to migration challenges. Safe passage, community support, recognising our collective history as migrants, and making space for migrant voices telling their own story is essential.

Media fascination with Italy's offshore processing plan with Albania (which makes no economic or moral sense - reminds us of Starmer's 'pragmatic' approach to migration (ie nothing has changed). Where's the narrative of community and belonging? 1/2.

Instead of ignoring the racist heritage of immigration law, the govt shd change it. Open borders, recognise the Britain as a country always defined by migration, and stop 'illegal migration' rhetoric when safe routes to claim asylum scarcely exist.

On a day when refugees drowning in the Channel is described as 'evidence' that the govt's (non-)strategy on migration works, this petition is even more important to sign. Detention centres internalise borders, are inhumane and inhuman. Keep them closed.

This is the argument we need to hear from more of the media. Journalists pander to govt and ask all the wrong questions about the continuation of the hostile environment. When will 'safe routes' appear on the news agenda, instead of 'stop the boats', and 'send them back'?.
