The Sunday Times is again reporting today that Whitehall sources say Jacob Rees-Mogg will move to scrap the working-time directive in the UK that brought in the 48-hour working week
If you are not in a union join one NOW!
This is courageous stuff from Simon Walters in all the circumstances. It disappoints me no other newspaper is now running with this. I ask that @Keir_Starmer demands answers about this from Johnson at #PMQs. Once again, the PM’s integrity is in question. https://t.co/hXJaKyDAb7
Lots of experts on here thinking it’s just a warm couple of days in summer. I prefer to read actual real experts in their field. https://t.co/BpN9LngmnC

Pls share. Thurs 31 Mar is energy #MeterReadingDay
So firms can't assign some of your current usage to April when rates are c54% higher
- Not smart meter? Send a reading (later in the day the better)
- Smart or prepay meter? Just take a meter pic for safety (in case of dispute)
Tory MPs just voted *again* to ban protests which are "too noisy" - a direct assault on our democracy & precious #RightToProtest. Just hope it gets reinstated in the Lords (who ironically seem to be doing a much better job at defending civil liberties than Commons) #PolicingBill
Home Office breached its duty of candour in initially failing to admit the unpublished policy to seize phones existed….
The judges have ordered a separate hearing to decide what to do about this breach by the Home Office.
Your occasional reminder that in 1994 Ukraine willingly surrendered its nuclear weapons in return for Russian, American and British guarantees of its security and territorial integrity.
