One of our (rain-soaked!) organisers on the open mic yday at #ShutManstonDown.

Pilots and stewards refusing to take off have halted hundreds of deportations. @pcs_union is considering strikes against maritime pushbacks. Organised workers have the power to stop border violence. And the labour movement has real solutions to the deprivation & alienation that the politics of xenophobia feed off.

Workers from Amazon to the NHS are showing now that the real way to win higher wages and better prospects is to #BuildUnionsNotBorders. (Keir Starmer take note.)

At #Lab22 conference, Keir Starmer promised to introduce a “points-based immigration system”.

A short thread on why this is a bad position for Labour to have 🧵 👇 Firstly, the term “points-based system” doesn’t tell us very much. Without any more detail, it’s almost meaningless.

It’s more of a dogwhistle than a policy announcement. It’s meant to invoke being “tough” on immigration and only letting in the “good” migrants.

This is Osime. He's 21, disabled and facing deportation to a country he doesn't remember and where he has no friends or relatives.

His family fears he won't survive on his own.

Join the campaign to #FreeOsimeBrown - thread ⬇️ Osime was born in Jamaica and moved to the UK at the age of 4. He struggled at school and was only diagnosed with autism at 16, after he was excluded.

He is currently serving a prison sentence for a phone theft he wasn't directly involved in, under joint enterprise law.
