My recent The Fabian Society report argues healthy and safe workplaces lie at the heart of tackling economic inactivity. It proposes a National Occupational Health service - raising standards and joinup with NHS, and ensuring everyone has access.

I was delighted to speak at the launch of The Fabian Society latest report on poverty premiums in financial services and other markets.
The next Labour Government will deliver a national financial inclusion strategy to ensure that everyone can access the financial services they need.
Last week, The Fabian Society launched Cost Cutters, a plan to tackle the poverty premium + make work
Our plan would save 100s of £ for each low-income family, and ensure regulators/gov listen consumers
Watch our launch - in partnership with Fair By Design 👇

Soooo looking forward to this chat with the amazing Lisa Raftery. Suspect chat will cover why functioning prisons/justice matter for functioning society, the many, many times I’ve messed up/got it wrong, why diversity in politics is crucial… #emphasisonordinary

This was the first by-election in the Sea Wall for 3 years
It supports The Fabian Society polling from Feb that found Labour with a substantial lead in coastal towns
And that Labour could win a majority of Sea Wall seats for the first time since pre-2005

FWN want to also say THANK YOU to the fantastic The Fabian Society women out on the doorstep up and down the country, you are the backbone of our movement and very appreciated❤️ From Bow, Bristol and Blackpool...
‘While there is a single child in Britain living in hardship, without the prospect of equal life chances with their richer peers, members of the Fabian Society will challenge the British left to do more’. Strong words from Andrew Harrop in the The Fabian Society review!
This week's The Fabian Society report found the poverty premium, the extra cost people in poverty spend on essential services, is £444 per household.
During a cost-of-living crisis, people in poverty have been hit by a huge sum just because they are poor.
