Farage argues that the clause in the employment bill restricting harassment could inadvertently result in the suppression of pub debates on sensitive topics, stating, "I think it's pretty fair in pubs for virtually everything, within reason, to be up for debate. However, the new employment rights legislation... says that debates should not happen in pubs if they're offensive to staff. And if they're being expressed in a contentious way... people in the pub could be asked to leave."
The TUC poll reveals staggering figures on workplace harassment, with three in five women and almost two-thirds of women aged between 25 and 34 reporting experiences of sexual harassment, bullying or verbal abuse at work, highlighting the need for stronger protective measures.
In response to Farage’s claims, the Equality and Human Rights Commission emphasized that guidance for employers is necessary to ensure that the focus on protecting workers does not lead to the undue suppression or over-interpretation of the employment laws.
