Proud to share this snapshot of the election anthology we at Labour Campaign for Human Rights have been working on with Amnesty UK . Some bold proposals based on the premise that rights can be a model for great policymaking, not just an idea. amnesty.org.uk/issues/human-r…
We've been working with Amnesty UK on a series of essays defining practical human rights-centred policymaking. As we gear up to the general election next week, read these to understand why any Government must begin with enshrining human rights. amnesty.org.uk/issues/human-r…
Great to have been out canvassing for Alistair Strathern this morning and afternoon. Lots of people on the doorstep saying they're going to vote Labour and know Alistair is the only way to keep the Tories out. James Jennion Liv #VoteLabour

Delighted my campaign to protect human rights in energy supply chains resulted in Ed Miliband committing to: 👉Cross govt approach to tackle Uyghur labour 👉The Solar Taskforce to include CSOs and trade unions Anti-Slavery International Stop Uyghur Genocide UNISON International Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC)
"The BHREA would be a win for people, the planet and business. Can the Labour Party afford NOT to adopt a world-leading BHREA?" Thank you to UNISON International for sharing your thoughts with us.
