In an era of geopolitical turmoil, the UK’s defence sector is emerging as a vital engine for economic growth.  Read this new report to see how increased defence spending could revitalise industrial communities and secure high-skilled, well-paid jobs across the UK.
Tim Page@TimPage1

How can the UK government create good jobs in industrial communities through its promised increase in defence spending? My new evidence-based report, supported by @AlexFerry_UK, explores this question. @RachelReevesMP @JohnHealey_MP ferryfoundation.org.uk/report/defendi…

On the 24th of November we're back in Parliament with @unitetheunion + @live_life_safe, survivors, @hazardscampaign and Trade Unions - calling on the Government to take workplace sexual harassment seriously. Ask your MP to attend - let's make the workplace safe for all.

That feeling when dreams start to become reality 🎉 The fight for shorter working time is in our DNA, and central to our mission. We're proud to support 4DW Foundation and the incredible things they're doing to make shorter, better work happen across the economy.
4 Day Week Foundation@4Day_Week

MPs, Business Leaders, and Trade Unionists. Working together, sharing their knowledge. Planning for a brighter future and a shorter work week. This was the first Working Time Council. We already can’t wait for the next one!

Big day for the movement. Today, for the first time, MPs, business leaders and Trade Unions (and us!) will come together to chart a path towards a shorter working week. We’ve proved it works - now it’s time to make it happen. It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

And this is just the beginning. 78% of 18-34-year-olds in the UK believe a 4-day working week will become the norm in five years’ time. But you don’t have to wait that long. Whether you’re an employee or an employer, book a free consultation with us to get started. ⬇️

This sense of exhaustion and alienation is increasingly the norm At the heart of it all is the fight for time outside of wage labour, the fight for freedom, whim, desire, agency Let 2025 be the year shorter working time again becomes a key demand of the labour movement✊ ⏰ 🌹

A positive (if partial) step The fight for shorter working time continues, but it’s clear: it is now politically mainstream Progressive policy work is usually characterised by frustration But the 4 day week will win Congrats @4Day_Week @Autonomy_Inst @AlexFerry_UK & others
