"Immigration Politics: A Defining Factor in 2024 Elections"

The UK government's policies in 2023 have been criticized for creating a hostile environment for refugees and asylum seekers, with measures like the Rwanda plan and the Illegal Migration Act stripping them of dignity and exacerbating homelessness. However, there has been a rise in coalition work and solidarity movements pushing back against these policies. With the upcoming 2024 elections, there is hope that the public will use their votes to reject the negative rhetoric surrounding migrants and opt for solutions that respect global refugee protection and migration, while also addressing interconnected issues like housing and poverty.
