People have always moved. Down the road. To the next town. And yes, sometimes people move to another country. Sometimes we move because we choose to, and sometimes we move because we have no other choice.
But here at home, politicians have built an immigration system that often makes it impossible for people who move here to build a life and it frequently punishes them for even trying.
It doesn't have to be this way. We believe it’s possible for Britain to be a place where people don't suffer just because they move. A place where newcomers are safe and welcome and communities are strong and open.
Our manifesto sets out the 12 steps we need to take towards a fairer immigration system.
Join us and campaign for this to become a reality

Our immigration system creates additional risks for women. It doesn't have to be this way - we need robust, proactive protections for migrant women. Read more
Everyone should be able to speak with a doctor, a teacher or a police officer in confidence. But for migrants, data-sharing with immigration enforcement undermines the trust that can be placed in these relationships. That's bad for all of us. Read more
The Hostile Environment turns doctors, teachers, landlords and police officers into border guards. Britain at its best is so much better than this. Read more
The Home Office is one of the most important government departments, but report after report has found a culture of hostility, dysfunction and inefficiency. It needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. Read more
The UK prides itself on its long commitment to justice and the rule of law. But for many migrants, cuts to legal aid and changes to appeal rights have made it impossible to hold the powerful to account. Read more
Migration is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be managed. Britain can and should take a leading role in shaping a global system of cooperative refugee protection and regional mechanisms for free movement. Read more
