The housing emergency has created an expensive, poor quality and divisive asylum accommodation system.
So 51 organisations have written to Andy Burnham to tell him he already has the answers to housing all people in need.

For years, people seeking sanctuary have paid the price as our leaders repeat the same mistakes: more hostility, more cruelty, and more waste. And one thing should be very clear to everyone: it isn’t working.

Andy Burnham has promised to "put the care of people at the heart of everything". It's time to prove it.
No one risks a dangerous journey unless the alternative is worse. Ahmed sought safety in the UK. More than a year later, he's still waiting in an asylum hotel.

330K views · 10K reactions | The Mayor of London sat down with Channel 4 News Home Affairs Correspondent Symeon Brown to discuss whether the UK would enforce the ICC arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Sadiq Khan said that “those accused of genocide must face justice” and that he would lobby the Prime Minister to ensure “the law is enforced” if Netanyahu were ever to visit London.

🔴 Mass asylum camps are a healthcare violation.
For a year we ran a clinic at Wethersfield ex-military site, treating men seeking safety. 68% were survivors of violence. 62% had severe mental distress. 30% suicidal.
The Home Office MUST #CloseTheCamps & scrap ALL plans to open more.
