The EHRC have ditched their interim advice. They are running scared from scrutiny, but their draft Code is a bigger threat than ever.

The EHRC has ditched its 'interim update'.

But their draft Code of Practice is a bigger threat than ever.

Here's what we need to do now 🧵

UK Government: Keep your promise to protect workers Zero hours contracts, unfair ‘fire and rehire’, waiting months or even years to be able to access benefits – the world of work in our country is weighted against actual workers. It’s billionaire bosse...

A new law could give millions of us better rights at work, but corporate lobbyists & politicians are trying to gut it. Tell the Government: protect workers, not profits!

Photo of Audre Lorde with superimposed text on her face briefly describing her contributions to activism.

Today is International Women’s Day. Like every day, it is a reminder of the power of feminist organising and women’s ongoing struggle for freedom, safety, and community.

In the words of Audre Lorde, “I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.”

Sky must stop funding hate speech CW: Homophobia, hate speech Sky launched its programme for Pride 2024 with a ringing declaration the company was “proud to celebrate LGBTQ+ stories”. But while it was posting shiny videos claiming to be “proud of who we are”, the firm was funding anti-LGBTQ+ hate by placing ads on GB News. The latest example of GB News spreading this hatred came on 22 January, when a presenter repeated a dangerous lie linking LGBTQ+ people to paedophilia. This prompted more than 65,000 complaints to Ofcom, as the British public took a stand against toxic homophobia.

I’ve demanded that Sky stops buying ads and funding hate on GB News. Join me and @GoodLawProject now to increase the pressure: goodlaw.social/c9g8

Ofcom, stop GB News broadcasting hate *CW: Homophobia, hate speech GB News is no stranger to spouting hatred and toxic lies. They take pride in it, and pretend the rules don’t matter. But they do. And they must be enforced. On 22 January,...

‘Why I’m calling for universal free school meals for all children across England’ – LabourList I’ve worked as a local GP in Stroud for 30 years. In that time, I’ve seen the lifelong harm poor diet and nutrition can do.…

"There is no basis to stop this provision at Year 3 if we are serious about children’s health and learning. "

Terms like "merit based" & "economically inactive" are ones we must pay attention to.

They're eerily similar to 'useless eaters'. We're labeling those who can't participate in capitalism as expendable.

We've been here before. Nazi Germany targeted disabled people. We can't let it happen again.

I've signed a petition against proposed Conservative guidelines stopping transgender patients in England from receiving care in male & female hospital wards.

As a patient, I know this will only impact hardworking staff needlessly & set a dangerous precedent.
