The attack on working from home reverses a trend towards fuller participation in the UK's work-force by people with a range of disabilities.

A key advance for many disabled workers has been the ability to perform jobs remotely, fitting in with their care needs & combatting workplace discrimination based on appearance.

If the Govt. is keen to keep the disabled working if possible, then supporting home-working is a key element of any strategy!

Why is the UK (still) dependent on a migrant workforce?

Well, a key contributing factor is employers' attachment to low pay & dismal terms & conditions of employment.

So, let's not blame migrants for seeking out jobs in their new country; lets be clear, its the UK's employers, their labour cost-focussed management mind-set & their continuing rubbish management practices that are the real problem here.

We need a sea change in employment practice(s)!
