I’ve written, alongside colleagues, to the Minister for Women & Equalities about the appointment of the new EHRC Chair.
We share the concerns that both the JCHR and WEC had during the pre-appointment hearing.
The EHRC urgently needs to rebuild trust with all communities.

Reports say the Treasury is "earmarking billions in welfare cuts”.
This is Austerity 2.0 & it will worsen record levels of poverty.
Why is there always money for war, but never for the poor?
Instead of slashing the safety net, the Labour government needs to tax the super-rich.
