Attendees of the workfare industry conference  “Tapping into Talent: Putting employers at the heart of the Work Programme” had to weave through a protest to reach the conference today. Many took flyers from one suited campaigner, which informed them the conference had been rebranded “Tapping into Taxpayers: Putting failure at the heart of workfare”.

Sadly guest speaker Chris Grayling found a way in to the building which avoided the protest, but we like to think we did our bit to make his day go less smoothly.
