Moving Lives — T4K Jan Update

Happy New Year. I have say that it does feel that 2026 started a very long time ago even if my calendar says that it is still January. Things are tough. The Home Office machine has crept slowly back into gear. They are making decisions, but unlike the last backlog clearing exercise, those decisions are negative and of poor quality. It is overloading the tribunals and there simply isn’t capacity in the legal aid sector to ensure that people have representation. The net result is an awful lot of homelessness. Even when people win, the Home Office want you out of your accommodation in 28 days (if you follow the link, you will see that they do not always get their way. It doesn’t help much). It pushes the burden onto the council. The council will do their best to avoid it, the voluntary sector and the community picks up the pieces.

Luqman Stays — T4K Oct Update

A very happy Halloween to you all. It occurred to me that I almost always have a celebration for which I can wish you joy as a way of opening these newsletters. I rather like that. The festivals that I know about come from a fairly limited subset of traditions, but every tradition has its feasts. I think that is wonderful. It shows that humans, whatever their circumstances, find ways to be with each other and express joy. Winter is coming, which is big news, if true. Given the circumstances we going to need more than our average quotient of joy to make it through the dark days ahead.
