20,000 children are driven from their homes every day due to climate-related disasters.
We need to protect and prioritize them in all our #ClimateAction efforts.

Wee one has been reluctant to put pen to paper at school. We spoke about @Refuweegee last night and he announced that he wanted to write a welcome letter. He dictated, I wrote in yellow and he copied over. He found it hard but said, 'I'm not giving up'. So proud

Thank you, everyone, for your beautiful heartwarming messages as you may know it is impossible to make a phone call in Evin prison for political prisoners of the women's ward on Fridays and Thursdays so we have to wait until tomorrow to hear from Narges and give her the good news

It would be useful if journalists could avoid using phrases like “feel” unable to work due to sickness. Anyone on benefits has been judged - by an incredibly harsh assessment - to be too ill for a job. This isn’t some abstract feeling that’s all in their head. It’s medical fact.
2 Oct 2023
Jeremy Hunt says he wants those who feel unable to work because of physical or mental health conditions to receive medical and therapeutic help as a condition of receiving their out-of-work benefits uplift, as a pathway back to work. But this seems less than practical - even heroic - at a time when NHS waiting lists and times are at record levels, and goodness knows how or when they will fall to normal levels

House of Commons Library research 2022 noted, 'little evidence to suggest that stop and search provides an effective deterrent to offending...most searches result in officers finding nothing.' It disproportionately negatively impacts ethnic minorities so why is it still in use?

A slap on the wrist for officers responsible for the strip search of Child Q can't begin to tackle the systemic racism that makes Black children 6x more likely to experience such violations at the hands of police.
It's time to end the use of strip search. independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

Fantastic outcome for our client who was charged as a result of their involvement in the Kenmure Street protest. Acquitted of all charges after an 8 day trial conducted by our Erin Monaghan, the Sheriff noting that NONE of the police officers were credible or reliable witnesses.

It’s been 8 years since Syrian 2-year-old Alan Kurdi’s body washed up on the shore of Greece and we all responded like it mattered.
This week another FOUR young refugee children are known to have drowned off that very same coastline. You haven’t even heard of them, have you?
