Thanks to MPs from across political spectrum for speaking in my debate on regulating #bailiffs in parliament today. There is cross party consensus for an independent regulator, a simple complaints procedure, stopping aggressive behaviour & better protection for vulnerable people

This is just wonderful; yet another example of the inspiring work of #PovertyTruth in 2018. Thanks to all in @WolvesPTC & the many other places across the UK where we are working together for change. An immense privilege to be a tiny part of this awesome movement of people.

Huge thanks to @WolvesCouncil for signing the @TimetoChange pledge to end mental health discrimination. This was a key recommendation of the @WolvesPTC #povertytruth we facilitated. This will make a massive change to the City 👏 wolverhampton.gov.uk/article…

A great challenging quote reposted from #GoodNewsFeed More and more, we find in all of our work, but especially in @WolvesPTC and @PlacesOfWelcome that true #listening is the key thing. #transformationtuesday

Replying to @ApleCollective
@ApleCollective love this quote from Chris Packham on why he speaks out on autism. Made me think of all the inspiring people that make up the collective and wider lived experience groups @PTCScotland @PTCLeeds @WolvesPTC @salfordpoverty
‘If you have been afforded a voice, however small, then you should use it to instigate positive change. It’s not an option – it’s a duty, and to forfeit that duty, to keep life easy, to not rock the boat, to play safe, is simply unforgivable, immoral, untenable’ Chris Packham
