Labour’s ‘Banter Ban’ Could Destroy Free Speech in Pubs, Comedy Clubs & at the Football | Toby Young

Toby Young warns that Labour’s proposed Employment Rights Bill—dubbed the ‘Banter Ban’—could have a devastating impact on free speech in everyday life. Under the proposed changes, employers (including pub landlords, venue owners, and football clubs) could be held legally responsible for offensive remarks overheard by staff—even if spoken by customers or fans. Young explains how this amendment to the Equality Act would open the door to lawsuits over overheard jokes, conversations, and even T-shirts—putting pressure on pubs, comedy clubs, and sporting venues to censor or shut down anything remotely controversial. From gender-critical speech to football chants and stand-up comedy, he argues this bill poses a serious threat to British culture and free expression.

‘No one protected me:’ Grooming gangs survivor responds to inquiry announcement

‘No one protected me:’ Grooming gangs survivor responds to inquiry announcement

An LBC caller shares her experience of being groomed from the age of 13. She says she reported her abuser to police with the support of a social worker, but alleges the case was not properly pursued at the time. She reflects on how she was treated by the police, her life in care, and the impact of what happened. This comes as the Prime Minister announces a statutory national inquiry into group-based child sexual abuse, following recommendations from Baroness Louise Casey. The NCA will work with local police forces to give victims their "long-awaited justice" and prevent further abuse from taking place. The Home Secretary is set to address Parliament over the review, which prompted the Prime Minister to implement a full probe after months of resistance.
