American workers saved a staggering 60 million hours by working from home instead of commuting in 2022. As work-from-home arrangements took hold during the pandemic and have significantly endured post-COVID, professional offices have increasingly resembled dusty Colorado ghost towns.
According to deskbird, an office optimization software company, only 11% of American companies actually use all of their office space and 45% use less than half.

Donald MacKayUK Independence Party Scotland As Scotland is on the eve of further hate crime nonsense much has been written about it from an essentially negative point of view. UKIP are the only party which expressly states that we shall repeal the 2010 Equality Act and get rid of any so called "hate crime" legislation which criminalises actions which are not actually criminal. Subjective approaches to "hate" are rather like subjective approaches to "bad manners".

As published in the Guardian and other outlets, this scam involves 700+ healthcare workers, of which 48 are already working in the NHS and are due to face individual hearings. Most of the 700+ workers are nurses but include a few midwives. Until the hearings/investigation is concluded, they remain on the nursing register and have been told to retake the competency test.

It is with regret that as the party's Returning Officer for the current UKIP Leadership Election, I have to inform Party Members of the following news. On Friday 22nd March 2024, I was informed in writing by Anne Marie-Waters that she was withdrawing from the election for personal reasons. This will come as disappointing news to her supporters as it was to me. Anne had been accepted as a candidate and successfully passed the vetting process.

Last Thursday 6 March 2024, the Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, presented the budget to the Commons. SummaryThe headlining NI reduction doesn’t give back enough money to cover the increased energy costs of the last 2 years, nor the rampant increase in food price inflation. Removing non-Dom status means they will be asked to pay UK tax on overseas earnings. This will cause an exodus in these investors, reducing revenue for the Treasury.

Wednesday 3rd January marked the start of a new 6-day strike by the junior doctors in England over pay. The longest strike in history during a period of the year typically characterised by seasonal pressures of winter flu, holidays and staff absences due to sickness. I remind readers that junior doctors carried out strike action last month prior to Christmas, and also in March, April, June and July last year.

Pat BryantUK Independence Party Spokesman for Food and Rural Affairs If you like to wear wool, one of the most sustainable of fabrics, do you ever wonder why it is so expensive? Well, I have more questions than answers… Many farmers are just burning fleeces or giving them away to gardeners because the British Wool Board who buys them pay so little. A fleece shorn from a lowland sheep will weigh approximately 2kg and the average price paid to the farmer is 20p per kg.

Janice MackayUK Independence Party National Campaign Manager UK Independence Party would like to formally challenge the general perception presented by the mainstream media that Reform UK will be a threat to the Conservative Party at the forthcoming General Election. Reform UK is hanging on to Farage’s coat tails. By themselves they are a collection of “Johnny Come Latelies” to the patriotic cause. Where were they when the fight to leave the EU was at its most demanding?
