We can do better than marking days on calendars to abstractly celebrate groups. We must ensure tangible policy changes to meaningfully improve the lives of migrants, asylum seekers and people at risk of labour exploitation. Read the report here: labourexploitation.org/publications/i…

@AudreySuffolk Congratulations. Best wishes for your new venture.

Delighted to see genuine redundancy protection for pregnant women and new mothers in the Employment Bill. First recommended by @Commonswomequ in 2016; repeated commitments given by the then Government; private members bill by @MariaMillerUK. Important protection, long overdue.

“We also expect there to be significant wider benefits to society, including positive impacts on health and wellbeing, equality, competition and participation,” the assessment, put together by the Department for Business and Trade, said. thetimes.com/article/04541d…

Working on maternity leave, borrowing from family, going into debt. Great piece in ⁦@thetimes⁩ on how women manage on the UK’s obscenely low statutory maternity pay. thetimes.com/article/616be4…

#KemiBadenoch's comments have at least provided some opps for highlighting the poor state of maternity pay @DailyMirror features our op ed mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Social justice requires we take urgent action on the evils of racism @DrHNaqvi @profkevinfenton @SadiqKhan @mayorofLDN @LDN_gov @LondonAssembly @UCL bmj.com/content/387/bm…

The review highlights the well-documented marked inequalities among ethnic minority groups in maternal and child health and mental illness, alongside experiences with the criminal justice system and services more widely 5/6

Very interesting research into structural racism and health inequalities in London from @marmotihe Very pleased to have contributed through the Advisory Board. Racial disparities in maternity remain stark. @MaternityAction theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

Calling Statutory Maternity Pay 'excessive' is mind-blowing when it's less than half the rate of the national minimum wage. 🤯 A recent survey by @MaternityAction and UNISON shows a quarter of women on maternity leave went without food to feed their families. maternityaction.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

Kudos to @guardianmoney for fact checking Badenoch’s claims about ‘excessive’ mat pay. The @MaternityAction survey clearly shows the impact of low rates of maternity pay, with women forced to return to work before they have recovered from the birth. theguardian.com/money/2024/sep…

Truly shocking to hear Kemi Badenich criticising as ‘excessive’, the very low rate of maternity pay in the UK. Does she really expect mothers to save a year’s wages in anticipation of a new baby?

Co-chair of the @APPGJustice @FightBach welcomes us all to today’s Access to Justice meeting, with a warm welcome to new Minister for legal aid @heidialexander and a moment or two to celebrate Simon Mullings and all that he did for Access to justice.

“Perhaps unsurprisingly, we could find no example of any other country abolishing its main public health institution in the middle of the covid-19 pandemic”, says Lord @Ara_Darzi report on @NHSEngland go.wilmingtonplc.com/index.php/emai… via @HSJnews

'As we now have a new government, it is time to implement active measures to curb the hostile environment that has been fuelled by the inflammatory language of the last one,' says @LegalActionGrp CEO @sue_james1 lag.org.uk/?id=215881

Legal Action Group is sad beyond words to hear of the sudden death of our great friend and colleague Simon Mullings. His contribution to housing law is beyond measure; and his commitment, compassion and expertise changed countless clients’ lives for the better. [Contd ...]
