UK: Tracking contacts with MPs to endorse The Manchester Declaration

[Janet]

And another Conservative MP, this time Penny Mordaunt. Big thanks to @Clare_Seek for persisting in Portsmouth!

Now might be a good time to follow up with your MP, given this new piece in BBC:

BBC coverage of Right to Repair and repairability in the UK (and France)

Just sharing this BBC piece, citing the UK’s Lib Dems and Greens for supporting repairability ratings like France. We were dismayed to see Defra (our environment ministry) not using the word “repair” in here. And a little perplexed as to why BBC didn’t ask Labour. But it’s important we continue to see coverage and pressure on the issue. We’ll update you soon about the question of whether the UK will fully adopt existing Right to Repair directives from the EU. Both Defra and BEIS are involved. The coming weeks/months will be decisive.
