Final judgment issued in ECPAT UK case against @Kent_cc and the @ukhomeoffice on the use of hotels to accommodate unaccompanied children! The use of so called 'Section 11' notices by Kent have no apparent statutory basis. ➡️Read the full decision rb.gy/bt2kta

We support a Palestinian woman who can't get her mum with cancer out of Gaza because she doesn't have a visa. She's distraught. The UK Government needs to urgently set up a visa scheme for Gazans wanting to join their family here. It was done for Ukrainians - it can be done now.

Palestinians living in the UK are asking for urgent expanded access to family reunification to bring their loved ones to safety. Please sign and share their petition ❤️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6485…
