The business lobby and Tory and Lib Dem Lords’ opposition to day one protection from unfair dismissal is disgraceful.
But the Employment Rights Bill will still be the biggest uplift in workers’ rights in decades.
We’ll continue fighting for comprehensive day one rights for every worker.

🧵Reform UK is trying to convince voters ahead of the local elections that it is now “professional”. Farage has condemned union members who, he said, were “telling kids that Reform is a racist party”.

The UK is not suffering another Truss shock - Central Banking
The increase in gilt yields is a long way from the turmoil of 2022, writes Jagjit Chadha. But it does highlight flaws in the use of fiscal rules

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
Repost if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.

OK. I’ve got to say something. Why is my Bluesky timeline filling up with posts about American football? I know nothing about it, I’m not interested and it’s not real football
