The issues around hotels are not due to an unmanageable number of refugees, but to deliberate government decisions driven by A. hostility to migrants and B. austerity and privatisation. The Labour government solves nothing by pretending otherwise and pandering to the racists.

As the Labour leadership launches more assaults on migrant workers, we've joined this call demanding a stop to the attacks, paths to regularisation for undocumented people, and labour rights protections for all workers. We need working-class solidarity: build unions, not borders!
@Keir_Starmer @IWGBunion @IWGB_CLB @UVWunion - add your names and let's amplify. 'What this moment calls for is compassion, not criminalisation — more rights, not raids.' https://t.co/qP3O1EL6Fh
