Labours proposed worker reforms,including changes to sick pay and banning zero hour contracts,look set to be very costly for businesses according to their own analysis. On top of the expected employers NI contribution increase things are looking bleak for growth. I predict many job cuts

I just watched an interview with the Justice Secretary, Shabana Mahmood about the prisoners who are to be released early. From what she said, some domestic abusers are being released early because there is no actual offence of domestic abuse.

One poor woman was interviewed beforehand and her husband has 2 restraining orders against him but she has received a letter saying he will be released early.

It's all down to the original charges as to whether someone is released or not, no matter if he's high risk of offending again.

Better reporting and moderation and a tougher stance on online harassment, bullying and racism

If you suspect you are being scammed by someone pretending to be your bank

159 is a phone number that connects callers to their bank to report suspected fraud:

When to call
If you think you've been contacted by a fraudster or are a victim of a scam, you can call 159. This includes if someone claims to be from your bank, an authority figure, or asks you to transfer money or make a payment.

How it works
159 is a secure number that connects you directly to your bank. It's available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Who manages it
159 is managed by Stop Scams UK, which includes many banks across the UK.

Why it's important
Fraudsters often pretend to be banks or other organizations to steal money from individuals and businesses. The sooner you report fraud, the sooner your bank can take action.

159 is similar to 101 for the police or 111 for the NHS

When you ring you will be asked which bank, after that you will be connected to your own bank.

Fair!

Changes starting to happen

A hijab-wearing Muslim police officer who was hailed as a role model for confronting anti-lockdown protesters faces being sacked from Scotland Yard over her alleged links to a female jihadist in Syria.

Pc Ruby Begum, 29, is also accused of posting offensive messages on Twitter where she insulted Jews and mocked the 9/11 terror attacks.

She is alleged to have made the comments before joining the Metropolitan Police in 2016 but chose not to delete them after becoming a special constable.

Pc Begum, who faces a misconduct hearing, is alleged to have failed during the force’s vetting process “to disclose her association with a female jihadi living inside the Islamic State caliphate in Syria”.

She is also said to have an “interest in the teachings of extremist preachers”.

The officer, who serves with the Met’s territorial support group, a unit which specialises in public order policing, was praised by colleagues and the public in 2020 after a photograph of her confronting a mob of anti-lockdown protesters in London went viral on social media.

Walking back from Hyde Park to Victoria via Knightsbridge on Sunday we saw a demonstration outside one of the embassies.
They were a non-binary trans group called Queers For Palestine. They were campaigning for the rights of LGBTQ people in Gaza.
Do they even know what the reaction would be if they took their protest to the streets of Gaza.
People who identify as Queer are not even Gay in the true sense. They are straight people that think it's good for their image to align themselves with the Gay community but would never indulge in the physical side of a gay relationship.
