On International Workers Day we send our solidarity to all workers. Particularly the workers, who like sex workers, are still fighting for access to basic labour rights. (1/8)

19 signatures before the end of the day PLEASE!! Retweet everyone!

We all want to be safe, and sex workers are no exception. The laws on sex work in the U.K. put sex workers in danger. If you care about sex workers safety, we need your solidarity. Sex workers need you to vote for full decriminalisation at the General Election. (1/3)

A report which I coauthored with Tanya Osborne and Dr Phoenix CS Andrews for the UCU on experiences of PGRs with “hidden” disabilities has just been published. Access it here: ucu.org.uk/article/13637/…

This is such an vital and illuminating report - am so grateful to the authors for making these experiences visible

'At least they won't remember' mum says on child's period of horrific housing. No, it will be hardwired in to their bodies and brains - creating faults and fissures for future poor health, mental health, sense of safety. Damage done now will emerge in decades.

Migrant children whose parents are not allowed access to the public safety net are pushed into poverty. Not only should No Recourse to Public Funds be scrapped but an organisation representing migrant children should be on this taskforce.

URGENT: A lovely twin-mama came for the first time today. She has no buggy at all. She was wearing one twin and her son was wearing the other. What a lovely young man! We gave her a single buggy as a stop-gap but are urgently seeking a twin pram. Can anyone help donate?

Very welcome to hear the Govt announce a new taskforce to lead its work on reducing child poverty. Now we need to make sure they actually include every child in the UK, not just those with the right passports.

We don't need a taskforce to know that the two child benefits cap is profoundly immoral. Why not just scrap it now?

We have also had donated, and given mums 80 buggies since January!

Why are care workers missing from the conversation about the gig economy in the UK? In a blog for the #InternationalDayOfCareAndSupport, Veronica Deutsch explains how to support the carers who are now central to the precarious UK gig economy views-voices.oxfam.org.uk/2024/10/why-ar…

This is a great piece from Veronica Deutsch, linking up nicely with Helen Hester's recent paper for The Autonomy Institute: autonomy.work/portfolio/repr…

Belatedly sharing this - a total joy to write this for Policy & Practice and be given space to reflect on the UK’s care platform landscape
