I was given this biscuit by a Ukrainian police officer over two years ago who is working to combat #humantrafficking caused by Putin’s illegal invasion. I told him I wouldn’t eat it until Ukraine was free again. Today is the 3rd anniversary of the war. #SlavaUkraini

🌍 On #WorldDayofSocialJustice, we demand real change. The new #BorderSecurity #Asylum & #Immigration Bill still denies support to trafficking victims, weakening the UK’s #antislavery response. 🚨 Modern slavery is not an immigration issue. Read our full statement 👇 www.unseenuk.org/unseens-stat...

Why on earth is this still going on? What would happen if we paid a contextualised living wage? For a start, it would make a huge dent in child labour as families could support themselves and their kids could stay in education, leading to greater opportunities. sourcingjournal.com/topics/labor...

Good to talk with @johndarvall.bsky.social on BBC Radio Bristol on the knotty problems surrounding the current conflation of immigration, smuggling, refugees and #humantrafficking. Some resources that factually inform the debate freemovement.org.uk/good-charact... www.rescue.org/uk/article/w...

It's wonderful to see Lord Alton’s amendment to the Great British Energy Bill passed in the @houseoflords.parliament.uk, prohibiting the state from using public funds to purchase goods, particularly solar panels, that are tainted by #modernslavery www.theyworkforyou.com/lords/?id=20...

This should be changed asap. If we give someone refugee status, it can't be right to then refuse them route to become a British Citizen. To say they can have a home in our country, but never a place in our society and be forever second class. freemovement.org.uk/good-charact...

UK’s tougher immigration policy, intro’d in 2023 to curb illegal migration, is leaving thousands of victims of #modernslavery denied support. The policy requires greater proof of exploitation, has led to a significant increase in rejections for modern slavery claims. www.reuters.com/world/uk/uks...

🚨 New freight routes from #Xinjiang, China to the UK may be carrying goods made with forced labour, warns David Alton. The UK Gov must implement Import Controls to prevent these unethical products from entering our markets and protect human rights. #Uyghurs #ForcedLabour @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Over 21 million votes cast in 2024 were ignored or wasted. After the most disproportionate election ever, there is a crucial parliamentary debate on 30th Jan on changing the voting system. Ask your MP attend & support fair votes: actionnetwork.org/letters/pr-d... @darrenpjones.bsky.social pls attend
