Asylum residents - stuck in hotel rooms indefinitely - speak out about "psychologically toxic" environment in Sheffield hotel. And now forced to share rooms with strangers
How can we tolerate this in a 'city of sanctuary'?

Today, @ObserverUK published damning new figures showing that upfront charging for NHS care led to over 900 people being denied treatment.
The NHS should be available to all based on need, not ability to pay. These figures reveal only part of the harm.

🚨BREAKING: 60 unions & migrant orgs have come together to call out this Govt’s plan to stoke divisions in our workforce & communities by funding public sector pay rises through racist NHS & visa fee hikes. Solidarity wins! ✊🏽#TogetherAgainstCharging
Medact Sheffield retweeted
The pay announcement today contains blatant dividing tactics from this Government, yet again aiming to pit the fight for fair public sector pay against a just immigration system.
Doubling a discriminatory tax on migrant visas wont fund pay increases 🧵
