# Labour conference 2025

It’s been a busy few days at the Labour Party Conference. As well as meeting the new minister for humanists, Miatta Fahnbulleh MP, I was a panelist on a joint event with More in Common on threats to free expression in Britain, and I spoke at Humanists UK’s annual reception. It was great to meet so many engaged MPs, peers, and party supporters and activists!

Here’s a round up.

> Good to meet the new minister for humanists, Miatta Fahnbulleh MP, and talk about @humanists.uk’s work at #Lab25. I look forward to working together!

> Interesting and timely @humanists.uk and @moreincommonuk.bsky.social panel discussion at #Lab25 on  
> threats to free expression in Britain. We mustn’t allow the necessary protection of people from hatred to become a backdoor for censoring criticism of ideas.
