Pope Francis has called on leaders to build bridges but the government's Illegal Migration Act makes it almost impossible to claim asylum. People in need of sanctuary will be turned away.

💬 @Pontifex: “It is absurd to permit the continued exploration and expansion of fossil fuel infrastructures. Let us raise our voices to halt this injustice towards the poor and towards our children, who will bear the worst effects of climate change.”

I’m in today’s Times magazine (£, sorry) talking about backgrounds & opportunities.
I want every child to have opportunity.
Under Labour, background will be no barrier.
