🚨 NEW: 127 Labour MPs have now signed the reasoned amendment to the welfare reform Bill [Pippa Crerar]

Government's new #industrialstrategy talks about using #procurement to boost high quality jobs, making #realliving wage and #goodwork standards a condition for #public authority contract would bring real change for real people

In light of the the broad-based support for the reasoned amendment, the govt should pause and rethink their welfare reforms. Let’s get this right - rather than rush through reform - & build a welfare system that’s fit for purpose.

So many reasons why we stopped using this years ago in grounds maintenance and encouraged all our clients to adopt hand weeding wherever possible.

The government cannot balance the books on the backs of sick and Disabled people. We welcome the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan's intervention and the growing opposition from MPs to the government's proposed £5bn cuts to health and sickness benefits.

Government should think again and parliamentarians do what's right - only between 1-3% will benefit from government's supported employment programme and then in work may see a reduction in income

Deadline for responses is 5th September 2025 - there will be amendments to the Procurement Act 2023, surely time for #reallivingwages and goodworks standards to be default conditions for all public contrats if government wishes to create good work for people in and out of work
