All kids should have a place to call home. Yet in one of the richest countries in the world, 164,000 of them are stuck living in temporary accommodation. This week, government has a chance to change that by listening to KWAJO- Social Issues Campaigner – and building the social homes we need.

There are 1.3 million households on the social housing waiting list. Investment is welcome – but without a proper target, we've got no idea how many social homes will be built.

The crisis in maternity isn't about individual trusts. It's national. Last year, Delivering Better set out to secure that acknowledgement from Wes Streeting — now it's a reality. Their movement will keep pushing for the change that mums and midwives need.thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…

Victims and witnesses of harassment and discrimination have been silenced for too long. This Labour government will stamp it out. Credit to Can't Buy My Silence and Louise Haigh for leading the charge. theguardian.com/law/2025/jul/0…

🚨 VICTORY: Abusive non-disclosure agreements are set to be outlawed. It has taken years of campaigning from Zelda Perkins and Can't Buy My Silence – but finally, workers will be protected from gagging clauses. This is a landmark moment for workplace rights. theguardian.com/law/2025/jul/0…

"The law protected the powerful person in the room, not the victim." The government plans to nullify non-disclosure agreements which prevent victims of harassment from speaking out. Zelda Perkins, Harvey Weinstein's former PA, tells @emmabarnett why it's an important move.

Our democracy should not be pay-to-win. Last year, the UK voted for a manifesto that promised to bring an end to the feudal leasehold system. We're with Harry Scoffin and Free Leaseholders – it's vital that lawfare efforts by vested interests are defeated.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Thank you for putting out a report that put the human cost of leasehold front and centre. We’re pleased to have contributed to your work and hope it’s the last report before government ends leasehold for good. It is important to keep listening to lived experience campaigners.

Labour had a choice on immigration: dignity or more state violence. Migrant communities, the labour movement, and businesses criticised their reforms. They ignored them. The result will be more human rights violations and deaths in transit. Regularise bigissue.com/opinion/migran…

Honoured to meet Zelda Perkins, whose powerful campaigning with Can't Buy My Silence has been vital in highlighting misuse of NDAs to silence workers. We're banning NDAs that prevent people from speaking out about harassment and discrimination. #CantBuyMySilence
