Item 1, from Business Insider:
WeWork's CEO said your desire to go to an office depends on how "engaged" you are at work.
Sandeep Mathrani, who stepped in as CEO of the coworking startup last year, said that people most comfortable working from home are the "least engaged" with their company, while the "overly engaged" want to go to the office.
Is he seriously trying to guilt trip people into paying rent?
Item 2, from the BBC:
Queen's Speech 2021: Key points at-a-glance
A Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Bill will get rid of the fixed five-year period between general elections and return the power to call early elections to the prime minister.
Wow. This law came in under the Tory-Lib Dem coalition in 2011. David Cameron stuck to it, and called a General Election after his five years were up (which he won convincingly). Then his successors called snap elections in 2017 and in 2019 and made a mockery of the whole thing. It must be one of the least observed laws in living memory.
Plans to force voters in Great Britain to to prove their identity when they vote at general elections will be introduced in an Electoral Integrity Bill
A Judicial Review Bill will set out the government's plans to change how its decisions can be challenged in the courts
I do not like either of these at all, but that's Tories for you (and I'm not saying that Labour haven't been just as authoritarian).
