NEW: Home Office to reopen ‘dangerous’ immigration removal centre as part of Rwanda plan
Campsfield set to reopen w 400-bed capacity, in what's been described as 'backward step'
In 2018 HO pledged to reduce detained population, but it's since increased

This is a story of incredible resilience - and a story of the unnecessary suffering our asylum system makes people endure.
People will always need to seek safety, but this suffering is a choice our Governments have made: they can and must do better.

The Home Office accepts that its policies to “smash the gangs” results in people taking flimsier & more overcrowded dinghies across the Channel.
This is why at least 77 people have drowned. A third are children. #r4today mirror.co.uk/news/politics/n…

Seeking asylum is not an illegal act. The overwhelming majority of people migrating on small boats (90%+) proceed to claim asylum.
This is awful framing from the BBC, perpetuating the narrative of ‘illegality’ that’s fed by anti migrant extremists.

It's great that the government has finally extended the time refugees get to move on from asylum accommodation from 28 to 56 days.
This will make a difference to the thousands who find themselves facing homelessness after getting their refugee status.

How would you spend £399m?
Not on reopening a detention centre that closed for good reason in 2018.

Labour's plan is to significantly increase the use of immigration detention - opening new, privately run camps to lock up more people for being migrants that don't fit in our system.
This is what detention is really like, from someone who has lived it.
"It’s like blurred faces –the system makes you feel like no one, like you have lost everything"
An incredibly powerful lived experience shared by someone previously detained at Brook House detention center -

Nothings changed since the grotesque racist violence over the summer. No consequences for MPs leading hatefulness - ongoing peddling of conspiracies, no alteration in tone of some media outlets, no learning applied to hotels - ‘a moment of violence’ we’re supposed to normalise.

🚨Brook House detention Center's health care services streched to its 'breaking point' a damning report comes just weeks after a man died in this center.
This govt must take this with urgency to halting expansion of detention and end it for all.

In 2022 45,000 people were forced to migrate in Small Boats. 5 people died.
So far in 2024 around 28,000 people have crossed. At least 60 people have died.
Deaths are soaring. Increased border enforcement is killing people.

Thank you to everyone who complained to the BBC about their framing of the Neo-Nazi attack - they’ve switched up their headline!
(although it’s still factually inaccurate it’s at least not offensive)

Today we march against Tommy Robinson & his hate, & in the name of the many victims of it.
Let’s keep Nahome Hagos’s name in our minds, survivor of a white supremacist terrorist attack.
