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.

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.

An estimated 4,000 pregnant women & mothers returning from maternity leave are dismissed each year.
I spoke in Parliament about how the vital reforms in Labour’s Employment Rights Bill will help to tackle this issue.

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.

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-co…

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.

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.
