Free movement on Theresa May's immigration legacy.

This is appalling, but what has it got to do with Hope Projects? It lays bare the underlying culture of the Home Office that causes destitution. Sir Amyas Morse, the head of the NAO, gets to the heart of it:

"When the Home Office acted vigorously to exclude individuals and shut down colleges involved in the English language test cheating scandal, we think they should have taken an equally vigorous approach to protecting those who did not cheat but who were still caught up in the process, however small a proportion they might be. This did not happen."

This is the attitude of an organisation hose prime objective is to reduce net migration and generate 'good' press; not to uphold the human rights of people born outside the UK. It inevitably generates flawed refusals of status on an industrial scale.

When our clients choose to gather evidence to fight these refusals, they are denied housing,healthcare and even the money to buy food. Much (though far from all) of this lies at the door of Theresa May, the architect of the hostile environment. It will, however, take more that a change of prime minister. We need a root and branch reform of the entire Home Office and an end to the hostile environment under any name.
