    How employment law changes could affect you

    The second major raft of changes in the Employment Rights Act 2025 have come into force across England, Wales and Scotland. Some parts of the law have been active since the spring, including so-called "day one" rights to parental leave and statutory sick pay. New rights include better protections for workers. Employers now need to take “all reasonable steps" to prevent sexual harassment, and are also now liable if a customer or patient harasses an employee, which has been dubbed "the customer isn't always right" law. But what is meant by "all reasonable steps" and how is harassment defined? There's another change too: unions now have new legal rights to request physical and digital access to all workplaces with more than 21 employees. And there's an even greater change on the way; from January, the cap on compensation for unfair dismissal is being lifted, which could lead to more claims and far larger payouts. But what will the changes mean for workers and employers, and could they add to the huge backlog in the employment tribunals system? Presenter: Dr Joelle Grogan Producers: Ravi Naik and Charlotte Rowles Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith Contributors: Paul Fontes, Partner, Eversheds Sutherland, London Rachel Ellis, Thompsons Trade Union Solicitors, Leeds Catherine Barnard, Professor of Law at the University of Cambridge Amanda Ford, who told us about her experience of an employment tribunal

    The Long War Doctrine: Gen. Mick Ryan

    Michael is joined by retired Australian Army Major General Mick Ryan to examine frontline developments in Israel and Ukraine, as well as the rapidly evolving nature of modern warfare. Fresh off a research trip to Israel, General Ryan details the IDF's shift toward an enduring, lower-tempo security posture in Gaza alongside emerging operational threats like Hezbollah's fiber-optic drones. He also dissects the operational breakthrough of Ukraine's Operation Vivaldi, the strategic realities behind Starlink reliance, and why tactical sensor coverage does not equate to a truly "transparent battlefield."

    Taking on Big Tech: Beeban Kidron on the art of legislating

    How do you turn a campaign into law when some of the world’s richest companies are determined to stop you? Filmmaker and crossbench peer Baroness Beeban Kidron joins us to discuss the art of legislating for the digital world. From protecting children online to defending creators’ copyright against AI companies, she explains how she built support, won amendments and persuaded reluctant ministers to act. But winning a vote is only part of the battle. Kidron contrasts her experience of the children’s privacy code with Ofcom’s implementation of the Online Safety Act, arguing that Parliament needs stronger powers to hold regulators to its intentions. She also describes Big Tech’s tactics for resisting regulation, the pressure to back down during parliamentary “ping-pong”, and why she rejects the claim that technology moves too fast for lawmakers. Her new book is Users: How Big Tech Took Control and How to Fight Back. ___ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:00 From filmmaking to campaigning 04:00 Turning children’s rights into legislation 09:00 Winning amendments and building support 13:00 Delegated legislation and regulatory accountability 18:00 Can Parliament keep up with technology? 22:00 Challenging “tech exceptionalism” 27:00 Reforming Parliament’s legislative machinery 32:00 Big Tech’s resistance playbook 40:00 AI, copyright and celebrity allies 43:00 Parliamentary ping-pong: when should peers give way? 47:00 Is the political tide turning against Big Tech? 51:00 Book details and closing remarks ____ 🎓 Learn more using our resources for the issues mentioned in this episode. ❓ Send us your questions about Parliament: ✅ Subscribe to our newsletter. 📱 Follow us across social media @HansardSociety / @hansardsociety.bsky.social £ - Support the Hansard Society and this podcast by making a donation today.

    Mo Ibrahim, philanthropist: Africa must not trade rights for development

    “While we see great development in infrastructure, in economic opportunities, and we see development in also the area of education and health. We see major deterioration in security, rule of law, and also deterioration on rights, space for civil society has been shrinking. That is worrying. There cannot be trade-off between economic development or infrastructure and people's rights or even people's safety.” Dingindaba Buyoya speaks to Mo Ibrahim, the billionaire philanthropist and founder of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, which measures how well African governments serve their people. Ibrahim warns that progress in infrastructure and economic opportunity across Africa cannot compensate for declining rights and worsening security. He challenges military leaders who promised to make their countries safer, and questions whether the economic gains they claim to have delivered under their rule can last. He also argues that African leaders are increasingly taking their cues from powerful figures elsewhere in the world, reflecting a wider global shift towards strongman politics.
