The government could end detention tomorrow if they wanted to. Days like this give me hope. Compassion, love and solidarity will always win🧡

So proud of everyone who showed up today outside Derwentside IRC to stand in solidarity with everyone detained in detention centres across the UK 🧡

So proud to work for such an important organisation, with such passionate colleagues. 🧡

Yvette Cooper’s borders announcement today is a betrayal of everyone who voted for change. Ten days since racists attacked asylum seekers & mosques & today Labour announce they’re ramping up the failed narrative that we can just get rid of the people we don’t want here. #r4today

@4refugeewomen Amazing news! So happy for her 🫶

🎉Great news🎉 One of the women we were supporting in detention, who was threatened with deportation to Rwanda, has received her refugee status! We are so pleased for her. 1/2

So proud of NCL for coming out🫶 When our community is under attack, what do we do? FIGHT BACK! When people of colour are under attack, what do we do? FIGHT BACK! When refugees are under attack, what do we do? FIGHT BACK! WE are the majority. Love, compassion and unity always✊

What an amazing picture of Newcastle today. About 10 racists outnumbered by this many Geordies. Sorry couldn't be there. There is an antiracist majority in the UK ❤️

@DaniCeltoi Simmer down with your 10 protest pals, love. No room for Nazis here 🫶

Proud to be standing with thousands at the counter protest in Newcastle today. As predicted, the fascists are a tiny minority. However they are still able to freely fly their nazi flag. Police say ‘they’re aware’ but are doing absolutely nothing.

🚨BREAKING: 137 groups across the UK have written to @ukhomeoffice @YvetteCooperMP calling for an IMMEDIATE suspension of immigration reporting conditions due to risks posed by far-right activity targeting migrants and refugees.

Last night 🖤🤍🫶 So proud of the Geordies and all of Newcastle who gathered in our thousands to stand united against the anticipated far-right threats. Our numbers and solidarity were so powerful that the far right didn’t even show up, clearly intimidated by our strength.✊

Debbie from Liverpool speaking for millions here. In every working class community up & down the UK. We’re not ‘aving it.

God I hope no one is in there. The trauma already experienced by people who seek safety in the UK. And then to experience this, in a place you thought was safe. There's no words.

I have no words left

‘Pure British’. Proudly showing off his swastika tattoo. Absolutely horrific scenes in Sunderland tonight. Shame on these nazi fascists causing violence, spreading hate and putting people in danger.

If this were in your community you’d be frightened, even as a white person or as a British person. To anyone minoritised or racialised, to anyone with migrant heritage this is terrifying. And designed to be so. Stay safe this weekend. Look after people, esp those in hotels.

Absolutely shameful

Peaceful protest is NOT a crime. Peaceful protest is NOT a crime. Peaceful protest is NOT a crime. Peaceful protest is NOT a crime.
