Loved this. Transglobal Underground in Lewisham. They were amazing. And only 20 mins walk from my bed.

A rare chance to race over 25 laps of a running track in a lovely corner of South London. Plus there will be a bar and food.
Races seeded so you run with those of similar pace.

Deputy PM Angela Rayner robustly promotes the Employment Rights Bill to employers at the Good Business Charter. "We cannot afford not to do this. The greatest risk to the economy is more of the same." The bill cracks down on zero hours contracts and brings in sick pay from day one.

Also speaking at the fifth anniversary event of the Good Business Charter, TUC's @paulnowaktuc.bsky.social says that "good businesses have nothing to fear and everything to gain" from the Employment Rights Bill.
"It is good for workers, it is good for employers and it is good for the country."

Mind you, this Brown chap is spot on about unfair dismissal reforms.

Ex- @cwunews.bsky.social subpostmaster rep Mark Baker talks of the human and financial cost of the whistleblowing failures of the Horizon IT scandal. A new report by campaign group Protect, launched in parliament today, details the loss to the public purse of failures to listen to whistleblowers.

The FT's sub editors not knowing the name of the government department that deals with business, confirms that the world is falling apart.

If Thames Water did Christmas cake...

Bit of an icing sugar purchasing error and Paddington looks as if he is standing in something very unpleasant.

Maybe I'm too old for gigs. Just heard a guy sing - beautifully - about his quarter life crisis.

I wonder which local university he thinks young people in Thurso or Truro should attend?

Prof @melaniesimms.bsky.social of @uofglasgow.bsky.social tells #TUCdecentwork session that the Scottish experience is that disorganisation of employer voices is major challenge. This could be an issue for UK govt's labour rights reforms. Need recollectivisation, so employer bodies have legitimacy.

Prof Alan Bogg of @bristoluni.bsky.social says: "I don't think the employment rights bill would lead to a revolution. But it would lead to a critical rebalancing of the UK labour market." Argues that more collective bargaining could lead to less reliance on individual legal rights.

Treasury minister Darren Jones says quality of work matters.

"Too often work is low paid, insecure and of poor quality, failing to keep pace with a changing economy."

In the first panel session at the #TUCDecentwork conference, FT's @sarahoconnorft.bsky.social says: "Sometimes businesses don't always know what is good for them." Executives often unaware of conditions on shop floor. Says there is a problem with poor quality work in the UK.
