Just donated to this because @rsmythfreelance.bsky.social told me to and because I'm not going out for any staff meals or whatever this Christmas. Most of you would probably be happier missing your work do and donating to this too.
As winter starts to bite, please think of the refugees and asylum seekers who depend on organisations like ours for food and shelter on a freezing cold day.
Just £5 could buy a hot meal for someone at one of our winter Drop-ins. Visit www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/stand-with... Every donation doubled. 🙏

I just want a government that is morally *better* than this.
People arriving here by small boat are desperate, often traumatised. Latest figures are 68% of boat arrivals granted asylum (see link)

The idea of the govt stripping people of their valuables & then hawking it off literally makes me sick to my stomach

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

Watching Labour MPs take a wrecking ball to nature makes me so angry & so sad. Their action tonight voting down amendments to the #PlanningBill intended to protect wildlife & habitats from destruction is so reckless & so counterproductive. People didn’t vote Labour for this 👇
