No one needs to go hungry.

On 20th Nov the UK Gov hosts the Global Food Summit - with Bond and others, we're calling for trade rules that support not block climate action and sustainable food production 🌿

Friendly reminder that the lies to suppliers, forced price deductions & impossible lead times shown in the are NOT unique to Boohoo or 2023. Almost every big clothing company has been doing this for years & it's the workers who suffer awful working conditions

To care about African agriculture, we first must care about African agro-processing & agro-industry.

Otherwise agriculture leads to exports of raw materials, low-value food, weak inputs, weak irrigation & subsistence farming.

Sadly the appalling behaviours of boohoo exposed by last night are endemic across the fashion sector

Imposed 'discounts', unfair lead times mean suppliers can't cover cost of production & workers are exploited

It's time for action 👇

From PE shorts to school shoes, homeworkers are involved in almost all garment production, but @sportsdirectUK and Clarks Shoes, among others, continue to deny their existence. 

Stand with homeworkers today and demand brands do better by them: bit.ly/45IFSHO

In one fell swoop the govt has

🔖 broken a manifesto pledge
🚣 reneged on countless environmental commitments
🌊 abandoned the polluter pays principle
⚖️ written bad law
🔍 ignored the public and experts
🤝 undermined trust

'Phew! That's a nasty leak. Thank goodness it's not at our end of the boat'.

An image that's as powerful in the age of the climate crisis as it was in the Great Depression.

Then, as now, 'it's not our problem' was a spectacular misjudgement.

Thanks to Cllr David Ward 🌹💙 for posting
