People do not choose to become undocumented. In most cases it happens through no fault of their own. their lives, their experiences, their voices should be listened to. Being undocumented can cause individuals untold harm. We need to look at how their status can be recognised.

The Home Office has said it will recruit 100 intelligence operatives and investigators to smash the people smuggling gangs. Nothing on improved coordination with the French or a deal with the EU to prevent more people dying in our waters. Deaths in the Channel now at record high.

As far-right mobs set fire to the Rotherham hotel, children and asylum seekers with disabilities were told to remain inside. Two asylum seekers said they had to put out some of the fires themselves. Most staff, meanwhile, were evacuated. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

We must move beyond the use of hotels, and instead house people within communities where they can access essential support, build meaningful connections, and begin to rebuild their lives in safety. Read more: theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

Banned from sports in Afghanistan by the Taliban, para-taekwondo athlete Zakia Khodadadi fled her homeland, joined the refugee team at the Paris Paralympics, and won a bronze medal. The women of Afghanistan are resilient.

We need a better, fairer, system which ensures people are treated with respect and dignity. A system which makes it simpler to secure a residence status, rather than locking away more people in expanded, and inhumane, detention centres. 1/ #r4today theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…
