Café Prückel - good food and traditional cafe vibes in an old building. I went back twice, spent ages people watching and wishing I could just move there and become one of the regulars moving from lunch to coffee to wine through the afternoon

Tonight, the Employment Rights Bill passed the Commons.

Stronger rights and protections, and stronger unions to win a better deal.

This is an uplift in rights & a shift in power to working people.

A huge day on the path to delivering the New Deal.

Someone should probably tell the opposition.

Employers trying to fight the tide here… if you want people in the office imo it has to be the best office ever (as comfortable as a home one, with working tech and coffee etc) - and you should be flexible with start times, people with dependents, etc.
