In Parliament, I recently hosted a screening of @hostiledoc, an award-winning documentary directed by Sonita Gale (@galeforcefilms) that examines the long-term impact of hostile environment immigration policies on migrants.

In January, @liverpoolhopeUK hosted their third screening of Hostile to students in Social Sciences. Afterwards, students discussed the experiences of some of the people in the documentary. Thanks to @SimocbPalladin for hosting the screening and to all the students who took part!

Thank you so much, Mr Mayor, for extending free school meals across London for another year. Now every child in the city, whatever their circumstances, will have access to nutritious food, helping them to thrive. It takes real courage to stand alone and blaze a trail, and Sadiq's bold, brilliant move should be a wake-up call for anyone who is committed to a brighter, healthier future for our kids. This needs to be rolled out across the country. Let's make that happen.

Important free school meals update 📢
Delivering free school meals has been my proudest moment as Mayor.
I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be extending this lifeline for another academic year—saving families up to £1,000 per child over two years.

Watch @AndyMcDonaldMP grilling the current Post Office CEO Nick Read last June
"What is so extraordinary about you that you feel you deserve a whacking bonus of £455,000 to make your total pay £870,000"
Andy: The metric used to calculate part of the Post Office executives' bonuses was based on false information in the accounts relating to the inquiry into the Horizon scandal.
Andy: The executives must return all inquiry-related bonuses immediately
While some postmasters can barely make ends meet, the Post Office chief exec was paid of £870k - including a whacking great bonus of £455k.
In parliament he tried to justify executives receiving bonuses as a way to "incentivise people to do the right thing".
Ridiculous.🧵1/2

After the effect of 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office', let’s hope Toby Jones is also working on new TV dramas about water pollution, climate change, covid, PPE contracts, the refugee crisis, the cost of living, energy prices, and the NHS

Very saddening to read about the passing of Jess Search, Co-Founder and CEO of the @TheDocSociety. She was an inspiration to Dir Sonita Gale when it came to impact campaigning, and using film as a force to change the world for the better.

Disturbing news: India's police have arrested 74 Rohingya refugees. This is what the ‘hostile environment’ looks like, impacting vulnerable communities seeking safety. bit.ly/3OvYB3R

Following the Illegal Migration Bill passage comes news that refugees from Honduras and Namibia must have visas to enter the UK. The gov says they want to stop people smugglers, yet are restricting all other safe ways to claim asylum. Article @theipaper: bit.ly/3O4WBOF

Incredibly distressing to see the Illegal Migration Bill pass in the House of Lords last night. It will cause immeasurable suffering to innocent people. Everyone should read @EnverSol comment piece on this heartless legislation #hostileenvironment
18 Jul 2023
My @guardian comment piece: This is a watershed moment as legislation passes that slams our door in the face of refugees seeking safety in the UK. Councils will be left to pick up the pieces as vulnerable people vanish into the margins of society. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
