Brilliant to see Labour commit to improving climate resilience in their manifesto. Especially glad to see promises on restoring nature (key for flooding & heat resilience) and enhancing climate preparation across local government - which were key recommendations in our report ⬇️

Despite concerns by MPs and the two relevant select committees, Stephenson’s appointment has gone ahead - this is incredibly concerning.
Minister for Women and Equalities, @bphillipsonMP, has confirmed that Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson will be the new Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (@EHRC). Find out more about Dr Stephenson, her experience, and the EHRC: gov.uk/government/news/gover…

Delighted to launch this @thefabians report today on how England can reduce waste and make the circular economy work at scale.  We are currently going in the wrong direction on resource use, but there are several practical steps the government can take to turn this around. 🧵

🔁 Invest in infrastructure for large scale critical mineral recycling, stimulating further private sector investment 🥫Mandate all large businesses to sign up to the food waste roadmap, rather than relying on voluntary commitments

Proud of this pamphlet - our dysfunctional media is at the heart of so many UK policy failures from austerity to Palestine. As @Hardeep_Matharu puts it: "all too often, journalism in Britain operates as an extension of power rather than a check on it"
🚨New Pamphlet🚨 How do we improve standards in our media ecosystem? In this new pamphlet, edited by @IggyWood, journalists & policy experts assess the media landscape, setting out recommendations for government to protect press freedoms at home and abroad.

Please read our latest statement from the Open Labour National Committee regarding the recent decisions by the Labour whips. We encourage all members to sign the petition below, organised by @CompassOffice.
Compass, with @PeoplesMomentum and @OpenLabour, is calling for the whip to be reinstated to the four suspended MPs. It is time to build constructive and respectful relationships with all backbenchers and the whole of the Labour Party. actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

Think it’s too hot to work today? 🌡️🥵 Our report ‘Whatever the Weather’ recommends the govt introduce a maximum indoor working temperature of 30C Originally recommended by @The_TUC, it would incentivise employers to keep workplaces cool while avoiding health impacts to workers

Well done Rachel 👏👏
I'm delighted the government has accepted my amendment to make hate crimes against LGBT+ and disabled people aggravated offences, and will now table an amendment in the House of Lords to make it happen. Here's a bit of my speech on why this change is so important:

We also recommend clear statutory responsibilities on employers if working temperatures reach 24C, including: 👔 Temporary relaxation of dress codes 💧 Provision of water 🏡 More regular breaks 🌞 Provision of suncream and protective equipment for outdoor workers

Spain and Germany already have a maximum temperature law 🇪🇸🇩🇪 The UK must adapt to our changing climate and protect workers from the health impacts of more frequent and severe heatwaves You can read the full report below ⬇️ fabians.org.uk/publication/w…
