Our thoughts are with all racialised communities and migrants who are being terrorised when they should be feeling safe.
When successive Governments and media dehumanise people with toxic language such as invaders or illegals, and champion cruel policies, the far right feels emboldened and legitimised.
It’s time our political leaders recognise how divisive language, and racist policies result in this violence.
The scapegoating and political exploitation of migrants including refugees must end, and our representatives as well as the Home Office must unequivocally stand with people who choose to rebuild their lives in the UK.
The government must take all precautions to ensure migrant and minoritised communities feel safe across the country and Parliament must be immediately recalled to prepare for a complete shift on narrative, policy and practice on migration.
