West Dunbartonshire is among the UK’s worst hotspots for asbestos-related cancer deaths from exposure at work, with 340+ deaths since 1980.

I led a debate last night on asbestos-related cancer, calling for reform of the 2006 Compensation Act to include non-mesothelioma cases.

Record levels of work-related stress in Britain’s workplaces. TUC declares work-related stress “crisis” as HSE stats show 22 million working days were lost due to stress in 2024/2025. 79% of safety reps identified stress as the biggest workplace risk. https://t.co/iYWpIZ31oG

The system for statutory bereavement damages in England, Wales and Northern Ireland needs reform.

Medicine and public health have added three decades to the human lifespan. Vaccination alone produced 40% of the reduction in child deaths.

And now a disturbed and unqualified man driven by crackpot theories is destroying the foundations of this work, including CDC.

Outdated and Unfair: The Case for Council Tax Reform. My blog on a new Tax Justice Scotland briefing, one of many I have helped write over the years. We’ve had consultations, commissions and countless commitments, but little has changed. Time for action!

On Sunday I’m running my first ever marathon in London, raising funds for LoveOliver, a Fife-based charity providing support to families dealing with childhood cancer. If you would like to donate to this great cause here is the link to my JustGiving page

@FabrizioRomano So are we potentially looking at each of the European finals having a club from London participating? Don’t think one city has done that before?

@welshjb Spot on John!

If you watch one thing today make it this remarkable speech by an independent French senator. It captures the moment @ClaudeMalhuret

@Kim_LHarrison Important milestone for abuse survivors.

Removing barriers to justice is vital for giving people the recognition they deserve - and also holding perpetrators accountable.

Well done to all at @APIL for their work on this campaign.

[Gordon Dalyell @GDalyell]

@Kim_LHarrison @Richard_Scorer You’re absolutely right Kim. Great credit to you for all your hard work on this issue.

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

It has been one year since the premiere of the ITV Drama Mr Bates v The Post Office. Some improvements have been made to the redress schemes and they are now moving faster – but not fast enough.

Listen to Chair @liambyrnemp and read our report 👇

Grandfather was ‘Mr Health and Safety’. His life’s quest to make work safer has been ridiculed – but the rise of the gig economy shows it’s no joke. The Health and Safety at Work Act passed into UK law 50 years ago. Harold Walker was its driving force. https://t.co/22rn7Njg9o
