ANTI-SOCIAL: And that’s not the only pro-violence against refugees post up there today. Compare and contrast the moderated comments on their website about the assault on a freshly-landed migrant versus the free-for-all glee on Facebook.

Your stated intention to introduce asylum & immigration policies designed to “send the left into meltdown” suggests that this tweet may not be wholly sincere.

Asylum seekers are allowed to do any work available when they are in detention for £1 p/h #unfreeuklabour, but when they are not in detention they are prevented from working. #right2workuk policy is so inhumane. NOOVO,the new union

"Cultural Marxism" is an anti-Semitic trope and far right conspiracy theory that has been repeatedly condemned by the Board of Deputies. This is beyond the pale. You call yourself a patriot, but you insult our country’s history.

Providing a new start to those who‘ve fled their homes represents the best of Britain's values. As we know refugees have always helped to keep our communities safe and make our society stronger. They even brought us fish & chips. Im standing with International Rescue Committee - UK to #StandWithRefugees

A Home Office civil servant admits that they posted a misleading tweet falsely conflating foreign national offenders with asylum seekers. And they’re not remotely sorry. Priti Patel MP’s department is rotten to the core.

We're proud of the lifesaving work our volunteers do in the Channel – we make no apology for it. Those we rescue are vulnerable people in danger & distress. Each of them is someone’s father, mother, son or daughter - every life is precious. This is why we launch:

Reminder: The UN Refugee Convention very specifically DOES NOT require refugees to stay in the first country they reach. This isn't an oversight. Accepting asylum seekers is a global responsibility not confined to States that happen to be near a crisis. fullfact.org/immigration/re…

The most dangerous comments aren't posted by anonymous accounts with few followers on Twitter, but proudly and unapologetically broadcast to millions by newspapers in plain sight.

This account is absolutely devastating. Despite calls for help, UK and French authorities *refused* to rescue people. At least 27 people needlessly lost their lives as a result. Our governments both have blood on their hands.

Looking for more great non-fiction writing on UK immigration and asylum. Anything to add to this list? Even better if it's writing from a refugee or asylum seeker, or about their experiences here.
