This is Andrew. Today is the 8th anniversary of our first date, and this is where we first met. That day, Andrew’s honesty, sincerity and brilliant wit shone through. It took me another 7 years to fully appreciate his selflessness, unerring sense of justice and fierce loyalty to those he loves.

Today, Andrew got me a card, a present and took me to dinner. I didn’t get him anything. But, Andrew’s love language is social media posts. And although I’ve never done one for him before, I guess he’s earned this one. #HappyAnniversary @burne.tt #WhereDidYouComeFrom #AndHowLongAreYouStaying

😮 Shabana Mahmood got it so right here … in 2018 👇🏾

"... it goes after those of us who look like we could be immigrants. We have talked a lot about illegal immigration sitting at the heart of this debate, but what we are not talking about so much is race" Shabana Mahmood condemning the hostile environment back in 2018

Mahmoud has listened to same clique of senior Home Office officials who have advised for 30+ years that loud announcements of punitive policies will deter refugees from coming to UK to seek asylum. Labour did this extensively last time. It didn’t work. A history thread. +

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world" That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

👋🏽 Today is a good day for this reminder👇🏽 “We need leaders not in love with money, but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity, but in love with humanity.” #MartinLutherKingJr, St Louis, 10 April 1957 Read his speech in full 👉🏽 bit.ly/3LHU3bA

MLK Jr reminds us that the leaders we need are not political leaders, but the ministers, lay leaders and civic leaders of our communities - us, basically - to #resist cruelty towards others and promote #humanity and #respect for the dignity of others ✊🏽❤️

I cannot think of a more timely message this afternoon, as we await the UK Labour Home Scty's announcement of a raft of cruel, unnecessary and selfish policies that will prove devastating to all people who are migrant in the UK today 🧡 👉🏽 Hold close your loved ones; stay hopeful; organise 🪧
