A disappointing move from the government.
The UK urgently needs a new law to make sure human rights abuses are kept out of supply chains - by holding businesses and the public sector to account if they are found.

Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook appears to confirm the government will be voting down amendments from Peers which would try to stop human rights abuses within supply chains for GB Energy. He tells @NickFerrariLBC "we don't think that's the most appropriate way to tackle this issue"
Adds: "We take human rights abuses, modern slavery in supply chains extremely seriously…
"The story has come about as a result of a story about an amendment to putting requirements on GB Energy specifically, we don't think that's the most appropriate way to tackle this issue. But we are focused on ensuring that we're not buying from supply chains where forced labour is involved."

Women grow between 60 and 80 percent of the world’s food, but their work is often unrecognised 💪

Fairtrade is best known for bananas, coffee, tea and chocolate 🍌 ☕ 🍵 🍫
But we cover dozens of new products including fruit, vegetables, juices, cereals, nuts, oils and spices, meaning thousands more farmers can benefit from fairer terms of trade.

No pilgrims are going to Bethlehem because of the current war, which means Palestinian Fair Trade artisans' livelihoods are at risk. If you would like to purchase some Fair Trade holding crosses for yourself or your church, DM us.

Farming communities are often the worst affected by the climate crisis despite having done least to cause it 🌡️
Many farmers are already changing the way they farm - like Foncho, Sadick, Liliane and Mauro 👇
