- New report🚨 Time to lift the ban: why this parliament must lift the ban on work for people seeking asylum. Today we’re in Parliament launching our new report! We’re telling MPs exactly why it’s time to give people the right to work. Read it here: www.refugee-action.org.uk/wp-content/u...
- Thread: 🧵Meet the companies that make obscene profits from asylum housing, while refugees live in often dangerous conditions. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...
- Divisive words have consequences. Rhetoric like this leads to racist violence, riots and policy decisions. It divides communities, when we should be united.
- “Low wages, poor housing, and poor public services are not the fault of people who come here, they’re political failure.” Same man, different day. Immigration is not the cause of the UK’s problems. Austerity is. Share this video. Let’s re-write yesterday’s speech.
- Reposted by Refugee Action📢BREAKING Our report #SafetyAndSurvival uncovers shocking findings about the impact of the work ban on women seeking asylum. Instead of finding safety, women are retraumatised and harmed. www.refugeewomen.co.uk/safety-and-s... [Content warning: rape, sexual assault, suicidality] 1/🧵
- Successive governments’ obsession with tough borders has created a boom for private contractors while record numbers of people drown off our south coast. Just think about that for a second. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
- Imagine this: You're in so much danger you're forced to flee your home. Then you move to a country where the system is so hostile towards you, it bans you from working, and you're in danger all over again thanks to racist attacks. Wouldn't you be traumatised? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

- This sort of dangerous rhetoric is exactly what fuelled the racist riots last summer. The government must change how it speaks about refugees and people seeking asylum. Let's focus on language of unity and community resilience, not division and scapegoating. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

- 📣We only need 68 more names to reach the 10,000 milestone! Have you added yours yet? Tell the Home Secretary to #LiftTheBan and give people seeking safety the right to work. act.refugee-action.org.uk/page/166207/...
- The Prime Minister says Brits are compassionate and fair-minded - so why does he want to deprive desperate people of their rights in our name?
- Governments have spent money on border enforcement before, and guess what? People still needed to seek safety and claim their right to asylum here. This 'illegal' migration summit could be another chance to create safe routes. A chance to change the story.
- Reasons we have a housing and public services crisis: - Austerity - Austerity - Austerity Remember this as the government (yet again) tries to pin the blame on "illegal" migration at this week's immigration summit.
- The government has ditched one provider of asylum accommodation because of its 'performance and behaviour', only to pass it to three of Refugee Action’s most wanted companies: Corporate Travel Management (CTM), Mears and Serco. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
- Calling all campaigners for refugee rights 📢 The Home Secretary has an unmissable opportunity to unlock talents, supercharge the economy, and give people seeking safety the dignity they deserve. Call on her to lift the ban on work for people seeking asylum.
- This is a huge relief. Mass containment sites bordered by high walls and barbed wire are incredibly harmful for people who have fled war and persecution. Ministers must now shut down RAF Wethersfield. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
- Did you know that most people seeking asylum are trapped in unemployment by a senseless ban on working? We got together with the #LiftTheBan Coalition and took this giant banner to Parliament! Rain or shine, we're ready to work! 📢 Share this video and amplify our voices. youtu.be/Y5qxNfi_Mxs
- Read Andrew's story and imagine that after all he went through, he was branded 'illegal', someone of 'bad character', and refused rights to citizenship in the UK. CW: Graphic violence and death 🧵(1/2) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Most of the UK supports refugee rights. It's time to act with this in mind, instead of inflaming racial hatred.
- The government must not let this cruel and ludicrously unworkable amendment become part of its Borders bill. It appears to demand deportation of all people fleeing war and persecution who have no other option than to take irregular routes to reach safety here. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
