Cycled past the beginning of the anti-genocide rally at the US Embassy in London, so, so, so many police, who are probably all 1/3 to 1/4 the age of the protestors. And barriers, because, obviously, a moat isn’t enough when you might be under a siege of septuagenarians.

Thanks to Olivia and Women for Refugee Women for their incredibly important research. The work ban is a gendered issue: it puts women at risk.
Anyone who cares about the safety of women and girls should be calling for an end to the harmful work ban, now.

Allowing people seeking asylum to work whilst awaiting a decision on their claim would be another. #LiftTheBan
It's a rare policy that would be welcomed by both business and trade unions - and at the same time would *improve* the UK's fiscal position.
Dropping these proposals - for which there is no economic, moral or political case - would be one.
