It’s free, it’s sensible and it makes workers happy. The government needs to accept that this is the new normalYou would be hard-pressed to find a single positive side-effect of the pandemic. If there is one, it is the growing numbers of people who now work from home. Half of workers work from home for at least part of the week now, and many workplaces have thrived because of it. Zoom meetings save time and wasteful travel, employers are free to hire talent from anywhere in the country, and employees have escaped escalating property prices in London and steep commuting costs. Working from home (WFH) has been a boon for the climate, too; according to one US study, two to four days of remote working a week lowers carbon emissions by between 11% and 29%.Yet WFH is now coming under accelerating attack. JP Morgan will now require employees to spend five days a week in the office and other big companies may soon follow suit. A perverse strain of rightwing thought opposes almost any social...

It wasn’t uncommon for the boys, still quite young at this time, to naively walk into rooms and find partygoers having sex. “That was just Saturday night,” Patterson said.The legend of those first “freak-offs” is among the headline-grabbing revelations in Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy – a new Peacock documentary that attempts to trace the Combs bell curve from its middle-class start to the height of cultural influence to the crash that tipped with Cassie Ventura’s bombshell sexual abuse lawsuit.
