Polly Billington

On defence, welfare and energy our targets are missing the point and making good outcomes harder to achieve.

Yesterday, DACS were pleased to join the Chair of the APPG for Freelancers, @pollybillington.bsky.social, alongside other members, for a timely discussion on the key issues facing the UK’s freelance workforce.

I haven't yet read this but both @graemedowniemp.bsky.social and @pollybillington.bsky.social are both thoughtful members of the ESNZ select committee, of which I am also a member. So it's probably worth a read.

This DIY collective punishment is all kinds of wrong. Solidarity with British Sikhs. Yours, a British Jew.

We will not win re-election by ticking off targets. A capability-led approach would deliver savings and a system that works better. This is true in defence, welfare, energy and across government. Joint piece @pollybillington.bsky.social in @labourlist.bsky.social labourlist.org/2026/06/capa...

Many congrats to my friend & colleague Sir Patrick Vernon, just knighted in the King's Birthday Honours list for services to racial equality and social justice. A steadfast campaigner for the Windrush generation + for writing Windrush into the national story www.expressandstar.com/news/wolverh...

If we campaign on targets not capabilities, we risk lecturing the public not leading them.

This Labour government must emulate the boldness shown by Gordon Brown nearly two decades ago and convene an International Energy Summit.
