Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
LABOUR in government will set up a commission to “put social justice at the heart of everything,” Jeremy Corbyn and Angela Rayner announced today.
Speaking in Birmingham, the party’s leader and shadow education secretary said that the next Labour administration would focus on social justice rather than social mobility.
Branding the latter concept a “failure,” Mr Corbyn and Ms Rayner argued that social mobility has given credibility to ideas about “escaping” disadvantage, rather than improving society.
