In 2026, the UK government is implementing a wide range of legislative changes focused on employment rights, social security, housing, and public health which will leave some better off, some worse off but such is the width of the changes, everyone will be affected somehow.
From January junk food averts will be banned before the 9pm watershed and a new MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella) will be introduced for children which will now also include Chickenpox
From March all English councils will collect food waste, garden waste, paper/card and other dry recyclables separately.
From April, the National Living Wage will rise to £12.71 per hour and £10.85 for 18-to-20-year-olds and there will be new 'Day One' Employment Rights Act which grants workers the right to paternity leave and ordinary parental leave from their first day of employment.
Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) will be paid from the first day of illness and a new Government Department (Fair Work Agency) is being created to enforce Employers are abiding by employment rights and paying the minimum wage.
Cuts to Agricultural and Business Property Relief take effect meaning farmers with assets over £1m will be subject to a 20% tax rate and the dividend tax rate will increase by 2% to 10.75%.
All Social Security benefits will now be folded into The Universal Credit and the basic standard allowance will increase from £400.14 to £424.90 but additional health payments for new claimants will be reduced to £217 per month while the Two-Child limit has been scrapped allowing families to receive payments for all their children and the State Pensions will increase by 4.8% in April and disability benefit by 3.8%.
From May the end of "No-Fault" Evictions will be introduced meaning landlords will need a legally valid reason to evict tenants
From September businesses (such as Gyms and streaming services) will not be able to roll over services without first sending a renewal reminder.
All in all nothing there to scary although the Farmers will continue bleating about having to now pay inheritance tax although they still have a far better deal than the rest of us and I am all for a new Government Department to enforce employment rights because employers have been getting away with skimping on their workers rights for far too long and who hasn't been stung by companies just rolling over services so good job Labour, about time.

ReplyDelete> don't yawl have contract law? i thought the US got contract law from the uk... well, welcome to the 21st century
> hopefully valid reasons include:
- lessee owing back rent
- property damage other than normal wear and tear
- lease expiration
- not abiding by terms of the lease
My problem is that my first reaction is to mock you and take the piss and make fun of your awfulness but then i stop and wonder if the growing miserable, grumpiness and desperate need to try and prove yourself to someone online is part of some sort of mental decline or something so i hesitate because I don't want to make fun of you if it is a thing. Certainly you have always tended towards being a bit grumpy and ideological as well as not reading or understanding some of my posts but this is a whole other level. Seriously, maybe lay off for a while.
