I was there. And the food….
A burger meant a Wimpy.
Pub food was stringy chicken in a basket that was never properly cleaned.
A “posh” meal out was a Berni steak and Black Forest Gateau.
It’s astonishing that so many of us survived.

You do wonder in which sphere of influence UKIP/Reform see themselves.

Agreed. I tend to think the worst discrimination etc comes before hiring decisions, so the need for statutory protections during a probationary period would be more limited and hopefully the reduction from 24 to 6 won’t be the limit of the ambition for employment improvements.

When Reform buys ads in the Telegraph, Mail etc, that's not really "spending", any more than when as a child I used to buy presents for my parents with their own money. There's a narrow circular right wing economy fueled by some opaque foreign sources.

The European Union brought in a “right to repair” law to help consumers insist on products lasting longer.
Just one of many reasons behind covert funding of attacks on the EU.

I never understood the ambition for Day 1. Most people would expect a no-fault probationary period for any serious job. Meanwhile even the worst employers would struggle with having constant 6 month turnarounds. And experience of benign impact should allow them then to reduce the 6 to 3.

I don’t understand why the reduction of the qualifying period from 24 to 6 months isn’t seen as a significant achievement.

I always thought it poetic when at Byline in Dartington, that some of our events, with a focus on genuine free speech rather than confected outrage, were in a room named after the father of that nepo-baby.

Possibly, though rather disappointing/surprising that Evan seemed to think billionaires pay much tax anywhere or that their ownership or not of large properties here contributes a great deal to our economy.

BUT, once again the way they handled it?
Why not say to the speaker: "look we are fine with you recounting facts but does your unevidenced opinion really add anything, or just make it look like we are pursuing some vendetta"?
Surely that could have been resolved before broadcast with a little wit?
