Unions will be given the legal right to enter workplaces once a week under Angela Rayner’s workers’ rights revolution. The new laws will allow trade unions to access offices, factories and business premises without the employer’s permission, with almost no restrictions. Business groups have warned the move will cause “unnecessary disruption” and turn workplaces into permanent union battlegrounds. It is part of Labour’s biggest overhaul of employment law in decades. Critics say it hands unions sweeping new powers over private companies and sounds like something out of the Stalin playbook.

It is being reported that Netflix's plan to adapt Brian Jacques' Redwall series is no longer happening. "Streamer no longer developing screen adaptations of Brian Jacques' seminal children's works." Additionally, another report notes they no longer have the rights either: "Netflix held the option on Jacques’ works until as recently as last year, but allowed the deal to lapse.
