Wonderful news! New MP @LizziCollinge - whose maiden speech in Parliament emphasised the how a humanist approach to life had shaped her political convictions - has been elected as the new chair of the @APPGhumanists. Congratulations Lizzi! 👏

Really wonderful speech from Keir Starmer today. He is absolutely right that the Government cannot be swayed by populist rhetoric - it has to make its focus on delivering results in the form of security, money in their pockets and working public services. x.com/BBCPolitics/st…

"Populism isn't the answer to Britain's challenges, easy answers won't make our country strong," Keir Starmer says "Nobody can deny that this kind of politics feeds off real concerns," the PM adds Follow live bbc.in/4fjDMCZ

Very sorry to learn of the death of a humanist trailblazer, Anna Lo from Alliance, who was the first Chinese parliamentarian in UK history Though we had different politics, Anna shared our values of compassion, reason and kindness in politics. A huge loss humanists.uk/2024/11/08/nor…

Delighted by the speeches at our annual drinks reception with @Humanists_UK. Such wonderful allies to have. As well as openings on marriage and assisted dying, King’s Speech offers a lot of hope for humanist campaigns on the curriculum, Commons modernisation, Lords reform. #LPC24

One of the big takeaway messages of the fringe from our speakers was just how many humanist campaigns were teed up nicely for success in the recent King’s Speech. But there’s lots of work to get them over the line! Growing membership = more campaigning = positive social change!

Lovely to chat to so many Labour MPs already at #LPC24 in Liverpool about our campaign priorities in the new Parliament, including a compassionate assisted dying law, legal recognition of humanist marriage, & inclusive curriculum reform. So much optimism among MPs for our agenda!

No woman should ever face harassment or intimidation for going to a healthcare appointment. Nearly ten years ago in Opposition, I called on the Government to introduce buffer zones round abortion clinics. Now in Government we are acting. On 31 October, it will become the law.
Home Office@ukhomeoffice

📢 Protection zones around abortion clinics to be in force throughout the country to protect women from intimidation and harassment. From 31 October, attempts to influence the decisions of abortion service users or employees within a 150m radius of a clinic will become illegal.

Super impressed with @jessphillips and @YvetteCooperMP on this! It shows the difference when you have a compassionate Labour government. The arguments put forward to justify Conservative dither and delay on this issue were all made in bad faith. Glad to see the cobwebs cleared.
