Productivity increases between 5% and 13% with working from home, and worker wellbeing improves hugely too.
But Farage doesn't care about reality. Or productivity. Or your wellbeing.
He cares about the workplace property investors who bankroll him.

So... if it requires an Act of Parliament to remove a peerage, here's an idea: make the Bill for the removal of Peter Mandelson's and Michelle Mone's seats in the Lords and titles. Two birds, one stone and all that.

It’s absolutely NOT fair. This outrageous scandal must end
The right-wing media & their assault on the PM, is unparalled in my lifetime. Johnson had nothing of the smears & innuendo that Starmer has been subjected to. The Mandelson saga is over-hyped, compared to the 23000 people who died unnecessarily under the Johnson Govt. The media supine over it all.

This is public posturing, isn't it.
For years they used Mandelson to gain political advantage despite his history - forced to resign as minister, ambassador, his links with Epstein were known.
Now trying to reinvent themselves.
Rather than bringing Starmer down with the Mandelson/Epstein stuff, perhaps we should accentuate the Bannon/Epstein (and more) stuff which talks about supporting the European far right and breaking the world system.

He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.
Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..

OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??
