With an ageing population & declining birth rates, this country needs migration. From bus drivers who kept our cities moving to social care workers, doctors & entrepreneurs, we have benefited from migration for years. Challenge the rhetoric of the far-right, don't appease them.

Thanks Stand Up to Racism - Scotland 🙏 Today's summit reinforced we're neighbours, not "strangers". That change happens when communities come together, when we lift each other up and when we refuse to let hate define our future. Let’s join the march on WRD 21 June to say #AyeWelcomeRefugees 🧡

When we treat refugees like fellow human beings and invest in the unique talents they bring, they become proud citizens and make incredible contributions like Shahid Khan Milestones of Belonging: From asylum seeker to civil servant in Scotland scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

Although we welcome renewed dialogue between the UK and France on the issue of migration, another complex asylum deal is not the answer. (1/4)
