Number 101 - learn to stop reading when something is bad. Seriously, why did I waste my time on this? Yeah, a four day week sounds lovely. Do the writers have any idea how many people are living hand mouth as it is without taking a further pay drop? 1/ theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
If we do somehow manage to move to a four day working week, potentially a good idea, then it isn't going to be because everyone decides to take a pay cut. It needs to be a change throughout the system so people can still afford to live. 2/
Likewise, something tells me that this advice isn't aimed at the millions of people currently living below the poverty line. 3/
To what? How creepy do you want to come across? 4/
Yeah, no. 5/
Oh, and seriously. What the hell is this as a piece of advice? 6/

Struggling to see the point of this article. Of course majority of boats used in channel crossings are made elsewhere. What is concerning though is how throughout the terms "smugglers" and "traffickers" are used interchangeably. 1/

theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/d…
These are two very different things, despite both being run by criminal gangs, with very different impacts on the lives of those affected. The article also overlooks the growing number of "self-facilitated" crossings carried out by social groups and not involving gangs. 2/
It may seem like nitpicking, but these are important points. By reinforcing the idea that all channel crossings are facilitated by criminal gangs it plays into the hands of the government's narrative used to justify policies which violate refugee law and rights. 3/

Unsurprisingly bogus arguments by Migration Watch seemingly aimed at stoking hostility towards asylum seekers. We repeatedly see children being mis-aged as adults, a process which is already incredibly hard to get reversed and will become only harder. 1/

thetimes.co.uk/article/adc559…
If likes of Migration Watch actually were concerned with safety of children they would be campaigning to ensure that so many are not mis-categorised as adults. As it stands however changes imposed by the judicial review bill will effectively strip children of their last shot. 2/
It means that once a child has been mis-aged, which currently happens frequently due to the relatively subjective nature of existing age assessments, and is liable to become even more frequent due to proposals in the Borders Bill, they have little to no chance of appeal. 3/

I know money can be tight, but if you can afford it this #Christmas please consider donating what you can to help others. There is so much need out there, and it is getting worse, but together we can support each other. This is just a quick list to help get started. 1/8
First off @Shelter. There are so many people forced into situations of rough sleeping and #homelessness in the UK. Shelter helps support them to try and find somewhere safe and warm to live, something many of us take for granted. 2/8

For those supporting #migrantsrights take a look at @JCWI_UK. They have continued working tirelessly throughout the pandemic to stand up for those who the government doesn't just dismiss, it demonises. 3/8

THREAD: Oh, it's Christmas time, autism and wine (or a non-alcoholic drink of your choice). Let's have a little chat about being #ActuallyAutistic and Christmas, and yes this is only from my perspective. 1/
I'll be honest, not a huge fan of Christmas. My stock line is that Scrooge had the right idea before the ghosts mucked it up for him, and in large part that is because growing up undiagnosed (ish) led to a few issues. 2/
Christmas includes a lot of things which I can find difficult. The enforced merriment is not exactly my cup of tea to be honest. I don't like being in groups, so parties and gatherings are not great. Although, granted, not a huge issue this year. 3/

THREAD: We don't currently have enough information to truly know the effect of Brexit on people seeking asylum. What we can reasonably say though is by conflating increased channel crossings with Brexit it plays into the "Take back control" narrative. 1/ theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
What we do know is that during the first part of the pandemic overall numbers of asylum applications decreased, most likely due to increased restrictions on people travelling. 2/
commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief…
We have, however, seen an overall increase in recent months. We don't have enough data though to fully assess what has driven this. We can make some basic hypotheses though from what we do know. 3/

The #BordersBill is hideous and should be scrapped for many reasons. One thing it has, yet again as with Brexit and EU citizens, highlighted though is just how little awareness so many people have of the UK's immigration laws as it stands. 1/
The bill doesn't suddenly allow the government to strip 6 million people of citizenship. It has been able to do, and has done, that for years. What it does is mean the government doesn't need to tell someone that they have had their citizenship stripped. 2/
That in an of itself obviously makes it harder to appeal, but the actual act of being able to strip citizenship is already there. Likewise when people spoke of Brexit and EU citizens being stripped of rights, they ignored that non-EU citizens have faced that for years already. 3/
