Fantastic event and got to meet one of my personal heroes, Lord Alf Dubs
#Lab24 – at Liverpool, England
Labour Humanists retweeted
We had such a fantastic event last night with @LabourHumanists at #LPC24, with speakers @AlfDubs @angelaeagle @rach_hopkins @RuthCadbury and @NiaGriffithMP. So much positivity for what we as a positive movement for progressive social change can achieve in the next few years. ❤️

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!

We're gearing up excitedly for Labour Party conference 🌹🌹 where we'll be volunteering at the @Humanists_UK stall at Stand D6 in Liverpool
Come along and speak to us about our priority campaigns, how to get involved, or how to get one of our nifty Labour Humanists T-shirts 👀

We're currently focused on campaigning for two things:

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.

Today we are introducing our Renters’ Rights Bill to parliament. We are determined to level the playing field between landlords and tenants. Our Bill will provide renters with greater security, rights and protections #RentersRights gov.uk/government/news/how-w…

Really pleased to see top academics from UCL, Warwick, and Birmingham taking on the serious job of looking at how the Government should regulate faith schools, in what ways, on what legitimate basis, and why. Thoughtful, timely, & helpful ideas here. humanists.uk/2024/08/15/acad…

Good luck A-level people. I hope you get what you need and if you didn’t, it’ll work out somehow.
My girl got her place to read History and I’m an absolute wreck.

No one should be subjected to the racism and violence we've witnessed across England recently, least of all whilst at work.
We stand with social workers and practitioners from all backgrounds, and I encourage anyone who feels at risk to seek help. Support is available 👇
The recent acts of racism and violent disorder in parts of the UK is of huge concern to us all.
We are united across the social work sector in supporting staff and practitioners in these difficult times.

On the anniversary of V-J Day, we remember the sacrifice our veterans and their families made to protect Britain and defend our freedom.
Today, we reflect on their memory and draw from their courage to inspire us for the future.

Put simply: If you engage in violent protests, you will face the full force of the law.

You either believe in the freedom of expression to mock the prophet Mohammed in a cartoon or you can be outraged by a parody last supper - you can’t have it both ways.

47% of Labour MPs took a secular affirmation instead of a religious oath, according to analysis from Humanists UK
Agree with @andrewcopson: 'With UK majority non-religious, fact that Parliament is becoming more representative of society is a good thing.'

Great to see our new PM give a non-religious affirmation today, like the majority of the UK population in terms of belief.
It's thanks to the efforts of the incredible Charles Bradlaugh and his 1888 Oaths Act that this is even possible.
