The major parties have been pitching their messages to voters on the first weekend of the Election Campaign. Speaking to reporters, the labour leader said young people deserve to have their say. I want to see 16 and 17 year olds voting. They can go out and work, they can serve in our armed forces. And of course, if they are out and working, they pay they are out and working, they pay tax and therefore they should have a say over how the money theyre paying in is being used. So yes , i want to see that used.

If she was running for election, she would win by a landslide. My thoughts on the landslide. My thoughts on the woman that went from home wrecker to jewel in the royal crown. Thats my take. At ten in an hour with me tonight, my top punst an hour with me tonight, my top pundits Jasmine Birtles, Christopher Biggins and nina myskow. Plus the most important myskow. Plus the most important part of the show, your views, they come straight to my laptop. Gb news. Com securise. And this show has a golden rule we dont do boring. Not on my watch. I do boring. Not on my watch. I just wont have it. A big two hours to come and weve got good vibes because its saturday and its the bank holiday weekend. So lets have some debates and lets have a laugh along the way. We start with my big opinion. A new Study Reveals opinion. A new Study Reveals that working from home increases the risk of being overweight and depressed. In other news, the pope has catholic leanings and bears do toilets in wooded areas. An analysis of 5000 employees from several uk businesses by the Health Insurance firm vitality found that 12 of people who are fully remote suffer depression, and a whacking quarter of workers. Whacking quarter of workers. Thats right, 25 of workers become overweight. People who become overweight. People who stay at home are also more likely to have joint or back pain, and an extraordinary 87 of those not going to the office had at least one muscular, skeletal condition, suggesting that being confined to the house may not be optimum for your wellbeing. Who knew . Now this follows the news that billionaire entrepreneur sir jim ratcliffe, co owner of Manchester United , who won the Manchester United, who won the fa cup today, has ordered all admin staff at man united to go back to the office. The obvious conclusion is that whilst some people are productive indoors, working from home is largely the preserve of the lesser ambitious and the less productive. And with this latest research , the with this latest research, the long term sick are part of the problem as well. For anyone doubting that this new arrangement is having an impact, its also been revealed that work from home is fuelling the afternoon leisure economy , with afternoon leisure economy, with golf clubs and hair salons doing a roaring trade. Theres a surprise now. For some, working from home is an opportunity to work more efficiently and save on travel costs. Many of you have told me that you love working from home, and its a great success, especially if youve got kids or a pet. Fair enough. But for too many, particularly in the Public Sector , it strikes me as an sector, it strikes me as an excuse to sit around all day baking banana bread and watching baby reindeer hour on netflix. And its astonishing how that many people, so many people now flatly refuse to go back to the office. Post pandemic, it seems that employees think that theyre the ones in charge and not the bosses. There are wider implications working exclusively from home is bad for the economy. Starving local businesses like cafes , dry businesses like cafes, dry cleaners and City Centre Pubs of trade from office workers. Another british billionaire entrepreneur, sir james dyson, has said that work from home is a productivity disaster and is stifling innovation because people have ideas together in a room, in an office, not on a screen. Dyson, the vacuum cleaner tycoon , says that work cleaner tycoon, says that work from home sucks, hoovering up precious resources. Youre welcome. Kevin ellis price of pricewaterhousecoopers, a large accountancy firm, has said, and i quote, the Business Case is clear. Our i quote, the Business Case is clear. Our Economic Research suggests that a gdp cost of around £15 billion a year is at stake, factoring in not only reduced spending by office workers, but the opportunity cost of people and businesses not being clustered together. Not being clustered together. Money aside, its good for peoples emotional and spiritual wellbeing to actually get together and work in the same environment for at least some of the week to be creative , to the week to be creative, to interact, to problem solve and to incorporate newer employees who are learning the ropes. You who are learning the ropes. You shouldnt have to beg people that youre paying good money to come back and work in the office, especially civil servants. Whoever wins the election , were going to have to election, were going to have to boost productivity and grow the economy to escape our current High National debt and to pay for ever more expensive public services. The vitality survey services. The vitality survey does suggest that hybrid working could be the answer. With a few could be the answer. With a few days in the office and a couple of days at home, ive got no problem with that. I do it myself. But wait till you hear myself. But wait till you hear this more people who work from home call in sick. Thats right. More people who work from home call in sick than those who go to the office. So theyre calling in sick even though they are already at home. They cant come in today, but they werent coming in anyway. They need to stay in bed, but they were in bed. Make it make sense . The bed. Make it make sense . The office or factory , or wherever office or factory, or wherever the business is located is a hub , a social, creative and professional focal point. A professional focal point. A place to chat about last nights coronation streets, to moan about your kids or husband, and to confide in a colleague about a problematic boss or co worker. The office is about celebrating success together and making strategies when things arent working. And what about the Office Romance . If youre stuck at home, you wont be enjoying the pleasure of those stolen glances from sandra in sales or ray in accounts. Good old ray. Absolutely packed into that primark suit of his. And what primark suit of his. And what people dont realise is that if productivity drops and the business suffers as a result of work from home, companies will ultimately lay people off. So working from home full time is a risk to your career. Ultimately, risk to your career. Ultimately, the problem is theres no accountability. With too many accountability. With too many work shy employees browsing ebay for fashion bargains, planting daffodils in the garden and opening their first bottle of san miguel at four in the afternoon. As they perused their last emails of the day. What they dont realise is that one of those emails could come with a nasty attachment a p45. Work a nasty attachment a p45. Work from home doesnt work. Your from home doesnt work. Your reaction gb news. Com forward slash your say or get to your feedback shortly. But first tonights top pundits. We have journalist and authorjasmine journalist and author Jasmine Birtles. We also have writer and tv personality nina myskow and legendary actor, comedian and presenter Christopher Biggins. Lovely to see all three of you. Jasmine. You work in the world of work. You run a very of work. You run a very successful business which is called money. Magpie comm , which called money. Magpie comm, which is a financial a Consumer Financial website. Is that financial website. Is that right . What are your thoughts about work from home . Is it a mixed bag or does it not work altogether . Yeah, it is a mixed bag and i totally agree with everything that you say, particularly when it comes to civil servants. I it comes to civil servants. I mean, golly, i think weve all experienced it. You know, youre phoning up and theres just nobody answering, nobody doing the work. Hmrc horrendous. The work. Hmrc horrendous. The passport office. The passport office. Yes. And then you know, insurance companies, Broadband Companies i mean theyve always been bad but theyre far worse now. So absolutely people definitely need to get into the office. However in my business money magpie. Com, weve been working from home for the last ten years, so you know, im very im 5050. Its the first time youve got properly dressed. Got properly dressed. Oh pretty much im in my pyjamas most of the time. Yeah but actually i say that you see the people who work for me, they , theyre either in relationships or theyve got families or as you say, theyve got dogs. Me i live on my own. So what i do is i go to a workspace because ive always worked for myself. Ive always been freelance , never had a job. Been freelance, never had a job. Nasty things. Jobs. No no no. Dont want have a job. So ive worked for myself and i know that if i stay indoors all day, ill get fed up and lonely and ill get fed up and lonely and ill be watching telly. So ill be watching telly. So i belong to a workspace. I go to work where there are other people around and i have friends and i can have a coffee or, you know, i can just pop in and out and that to me is a nice way to do my work. So that effectively means that work from home doesnt really work for you actually. Really work for you actually. Youre more productive if you can go somewhere and be around other people. Absolutely. Nina has worked from home, gone too far. I honestly think it has. I really do, because the part of mixing with other people, and when you particularly in the Creative Industry, you need to spark off other people. Of course. Of course, youre not in the Creative Industry if youre very much not completely non creative in the civil service, frankly. Yeah, then then thats a different matter. Then thats a different matter. But even so, i mean, ive heard stories of, of this is just hearsay of somebody who works for the home office , from home for the home office, from home in liverpool and goes to the golf club. Yeah, almost every afternoon. And his wife just moves the mouse on the on the on the computer a bit. Yeah i mean, its absolutely shocking. The trouble is when i first went, i first went freelance. Freelance in 1987. And for the first three weeks, i didnt know what to do with myself. I felt like a balloon that someone had let go of the string i thought i should be doing something, so i realised i had to put discipline into into my life. I had to get up and get dressed. The trouble is, people are, you know, they whinge about covid and lockdown , whinge about covid and lockdown, but theyre actually doing it to themselves. Theyre locking themselves. Theyre locking themselves down. Well, this is a legacy of covid, isnt it . Its crazy. Its crazy. But they didnt like it. But but theyre reproducing. It begins. Begins. What do you think . What do you think . I think its very important to get out and be social, to meet people, to discuss things, to talk about life, to talk about what you saw on Television Last night. Its just a communication. You cant do that at home. Sitting in front of a terrible camera. I mean, i terrible camera. I mean, i loathe that when people say, oh, youve got to go on, you know, do like this programme, you know, its just not right. Yeah. Its vile. I think its you. You its vile. I think its you. You lose that communication, which is so important in life. Christopher, what about the people who are saving 100, £200 a month on train fares or bus fares, who are spending more time with the family and are less stressed . Yeah, but are they less stressed, do you think . Well, some family, some say, well it could be worse. It depends how big the kids are, doesnt it . But some argue that it allows them to focus more on the work for a shorter penod more on the work for a shorter period of time, and then they can take exercise, walk the dog, pick the kids up from school and not work well. They would argue they work more efficiently, that when you go to the office, you get distracted by things. Unnecessary meetings except the man who just talked about who goes plays golf and his wife moves the i got to say, my local wetherspoons is heaving at three in the afternoon on wednesday. Although, that said, why am i there . Yeah. Well yeah, i think its i think its a good idea to do the hybnd think its a good idea to do the hybrid thing. I mean, maybe have one day at home.
