Some very sad news: @CoopParty and @DevonLabour legend Saxon Spence has passed away. A stalwart in County Hall and countrywide - her championing of education and young people in Devon should never be forgotten. She lived her co-operative values too. @LGA_Labour

NEW 🚨 | 10 MILLION workers will benefit from the overhaul of workers rights with more secure jobs, higher pay and better wellbeing - according to the government’s impact assessment.

This boost to business productivity and living standards will fuel economic growth - with minimal costs easily outweighed by the wider gains.

[ILR Review @ILRReview]

How do temporary workers impact permanent workers' wages? @LukasLehner_ ,Paul Ramskogler & Aleksandra Riedl @oenb show that temporary workers induce strong negative effects on permanent workers’ wage growth where wage bargaining institutions are weak.

Jo Bateman’s right to swim was taken away when South West Water dumped untreated sewage into her local sea. That’s why she’s taking the water company to court.

Rent controls work.

Interesting - DLUHC data shows the Private Rented Sector in England actually increased by 35,000 last year. It's now the largest it's ever been, almost 5m dwellings.

There is no mass landlord sell off.

Quite the story in Times below that a minister wrote a memo suggesting Number 10 refused repeated efforts to allow veterans ID for voting because it would “open floodgates” to students using their ID to vote aswell…

“Endemic” #casualisation is “a choice, not a necessity”, says @ucu: union ranks institutions on efforts to better support precarious workforce, and finds most failing to get to grips with the issue

BREAKING: Government prepared secret dossiers on academics social media posts.

Not only is this alarming, it is deeply sinister.

It is time for us to come together to ensure we stave off this government, who threaten everything we value and hold dear.
