Compassion just headlined Glastonbury⚡ At this year's @glastonbury, messages of HOPE took pride of place at the West Holts stage🧡 Everyday people want hope, not hostility. This government's cruel anti-refugee policies do not represent us. #TogetherWithRefugees, always.

I cannot begin to express to you what a fundamental and all-consuming incompetent mess the Home Office is. Nothing works. No system functions. Decisions might as well be made by llamas. Records are trash. Bureaucracy out of control. And as always, the vulnerable pay the price.

The attack on asylum accommodation last night in #Knowsley shows us how state racism joined with the rise of the far-right, is bearing directly on our people and communities. This situation demands a bold show of unity. It's time to show that our #SolidarityKnowsNoBorders

We must unite against hatred & intolerance - wherever we find it. Because genocides don't start with genocide. It start with words & with the idea that some people matter & some people don’t. We must fight against this with everything we have. ⁣ ⁣ #HolocaustMemorialDay
