The world of work has changed. Our employment laws need to keep pace.

Today, we’ve launched a consultation on employment status reform and protections for the self-employed, to tackle bogus self-employment and build a fairer system.

No one should have to fight for time to grieve. These changes will support people going through some of the hardest life moments.

Thank you to the campaigners, whose courage and testimonies have helped make this change happen. x.com/biztradegovuk/…

From April 2027, employees and their partners who lose a pregnancy before 24 weeks will be entitled to two weeks of unpaid leave from work. This comes alongside a new right to time off for employees who lose a partner, parent, child or sibling.

We’re calling time on dodgy builders 🔨

New protections will help you hire trusted traders with confidence & keep your money safer while work is ongoing.

And we’re backing the brilliant builders who do things properly.

Labour is raising standards and protecting consumers ✅

I’m up bright and early from home, speaking to TV and radio about our new action to protect families from dodgy builders.

Keep an eye out for me this morning! 👀
