There are humanist groups inside the political parties.
@ToryHumanists @LabourHumanists @HSLibDems and @GreenHumanists are all on Twitter and looking for people to get involved.
Brilliant news. Labour's @HarrietHarman has put forward an amendment to the Hereditary Peers Bill on bishops in the Lords.
If passed, the amendment would mandate that the Government to develop proposals to remove the Lords Spiritual within two years.

Wonderful news! New MP @LizziCollinge - whose maiden speech in Parliament emphasised the how a humanist approach to life had shaped her political convictions - has been elected as the new chair of the @APPGhumanists.
Congratulations Lizzi! 👏

Really wonderful speech from Keir Starmer today.
He is absolutely right that the Government cannot be swayed by populist rhetoric - it has to make its focus on delivering results in the form of security, money in their pockets and working public services. xitter.cf/BBCPolitics/status/186…
"Populism isn't the answer to Britain's challenges, easy answers won't make our country strong," Keir Starmer says
"Nobody can deny that this kind of politics feeds off real concerns," the PM adds

Very sorry to learn of the death of a humanist trailblazer, Anna Lo from Alliance, who was the first Chinese parliamentarian in UK history
Though we had different politics, Anna shared our values of compassion, reason and kindness in politics. A huge loss humanists.uk/2024/11/08/nort…
Feet are still sore from a brilliant #LabConf24, but delighted to have met and spoken to so many members old and new.
To everyone who signed up at conference, look out for a post-conference update next week setting out steps for getting more involved in our work 💪🌹

Fantastic event and got to meet one of my personal heroes, Lord Alf Dubs
#Lab24 – at Liverpool, England
Delighted by the speeches at our annual drinks reception with @Humanists_UK. Such wonderful allies to have. As well as openings on marriage and assisted dying, King’s Speech offers a lot of hope for humanist campaigns on the curriculum, Commons modernisation, Lords reform. #LPC24

We had such a fantastic event last night with @LabourHumanists at #LPC24, with speakers @AlfDubs @angelaeagle @rach_hopkins @RuthCadbury and @NiaGriffithMP. So much positivity for what we as a positive movement for progressive social change can achieve in the next few years. ❤️
We had standing room only at our event last night at #LPC24 – the room was overflowing into the main arena area with guests arriving to hear from @angelaeagle @andrewcopson @AlfDubs @NiaGriffithMP @RuthCadbury and @rach_hopkins. Lots of praise for @Humanists_UK’s stellar work.
One of the big takeaway messages of the fringe from our speakers was just how many humanist campaigns were teed up nicely for success in the recent King’s Speech. But there’s lots of work to get them over the line!
Growing membership = more campaigning = positive social change!
Our asks are this:
Join Humanists UK to support their national campaigning work on schools, marriage, assisted dying & a secular state
And join us (for free!) to help us promote humanism in the Labour movement, across local as national governments labourhumanists.org.uk/join-…

Lovely to chat to so many Labour MPs already at #LPC24 in Liverpool about our campaign priorities in the new Parliament, including a compassionate assisted dying law, legal recognition of humanist marriage, & inclusive curriculum reform. So much optimism among MPs for our agenda!

No woman should ever face harassment or intimidation for going to a healthcare appointment.
Nearly ten years ago in Opposition, I called on the Government to introduce buffer zones round abortion clinics.
Now in Government we are acting. On 31 October, it will become the law.
Super impressed with @jessphillips and @YvetteCooperMP on this! It shows the difference when you have a compassionate Labour government.
The arguments put forward to justify Conservative dither and delay on this issue were all made in bad faith. Glad to see the cobwebs cleared.

We’re absolutely delighted that @hammersmithandy has been elected Chair of the Justice Committee. A great choice. Good luck, Andy!
