2/2 wins

Two issues I have been campaigning on have been changing the law forcing supermarkets to close over Easter and the fact the Government was onl allowing daily media to operate.

The PM has just announced decisions on both issues, and they’re both partial victories. Good to see the Government willing to amend decisions that are wrong.

Supermarkets are now allowed to open on Easter Sunday (but not Good Friday) this year. They will use Good Friday to restock. A reasonable compromise.

And the definition of essential media is expanded to allow non daily newspapers that reach hard to contact communities, which will allow many community newspapers to stay open, and ethnic newspapers etc.

No back down on the idiotic minimum wage increase coming into force tomorrow, but they had already ruled that out a week ago.
