What’s the Difference Between WEFIX London and the Artemis II Mission to the Moon?
Both WEFIX and the NASA moon rocket went ballistic immediately after launch, and both teams are famous for unblocking khazis! But there is one major difference that separates the two operations and that’s the fact that the Artemis II crew came back down to earth while at WEFIX London we are still on a rapid […]
The Number of UK Workers Signed Off Work ‘On the Sick’ is Staggering – Something Doesn’t Add Up!!
We’re told that since 2019 there’s been a dramatic rise in the number of working-age people being signed off work, tens of thousands more every year, driven largely by stress, anxiety, depression, and young people struggling to make the jump from education into employment. Now look, I’m not dismissing mental health. It’s real, it matters, […]
The Crippling Blockage you Don’t Need a Plumber to Fix!
There’s a blockage restricting growth in the UK economy, but nobody seems prepared to wield the plunger and get things flowing again. The problem is obvious and no secret but for reasons of money and snobbery all efforts to fix the huge mismatch between employers’ needs and the skills the education is failing to deliver. […]

Government’s youth jobs push is welcome, but it still doesn’t go far enough
The government’s new £1 billion youth employment drive, designed to create 200,000 jobs and apprenticeships, is a positive step. Any serious effort to get young people into work deserves recognition. But if we’re honest about the scale of the problem, the reality is this: we’re still tinkering around the edges. The UK has been playing […]
The Real Enemy: It’s not the dinghies, it’s the algorithm coming for your kid’s first job
Middle England has been told, day after day, that the great threat to its living standards is illegal migration. Pressure on wages. Pressure on schools. Pressure on the NHS. Pressure on housing. A sense that the ladder of opportunity is being pulled up for their kids. It’s a compelling story because it comes with a […]
Good intentions don’t create jobs – businesses do
I’ve built businesses from nothing, and I’ll tell you a simple truth. Employers hire when it feels safe to hire. Right now, it doesn’t. The government is making hiring a risk A survey of 2,000 firms shows 37% plan to cut permanent recruitment because of the new workers’ rights reforms. That isn’t politics, it’s predictable […]
Britain doesn’t have a jobs crisis. It has a work ethic crisis
We’re not short of jobs, we’re short of workers I don’t often find myself agreeing with supermarket bosses, but Tesco’s Ashwin Prasad has got this one right. Britain is drifting into a worklessness crisis and far too many people are still pretending it isn’t happening. I’ve spent my life employing people, from apprentices to engineers […]
Britain is driving family businesses off a cliff and pretending it’s progress
I’ve never been one for sugar-coating things, so let’s be clear. Britain has become one of the worst places in the developed world to be an entrepreneur, and the Government seems either oblivious or indifferent to the damage it’s doing. Recent polling by think tank the Jobs Foundation of more than 1,150 family businesses and […]
As the political smoke cleared from yesterday’s defection drama the spoils of war definitely went to Nigel!
IN THE calamitous political piss-up that ended with Tory Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick being fired by one political boss only to be hired by another a couple of hours later there was only one winner. It sounds like a complete cockup with Jenrick, or someone in his team, leaving his resignation speech kicking around […]
