has threatened to commence a wholly meritless lawsuit against the company, based on the allegation that he was unlawfully and involuntarily terminated upon returning to work from paternity leave.

The campaign groups, The Dad Shift and Movember, said hundreds of thousands of families were falling apart as a result of a parental leave system described by MPs as one of the worst in the developed world. A survey commissioned by the groups found that 69% of single parents said the UK's two-week, low-pay paternity leave made it harder to share parental responsibility, exacerbating gender inequalities.

The German owned discount retailer Lidl is to provide their workers with the seventh pay rise since 2023. The retailer will double paid paternity leave as part of a further £29 million investment for workers wages and entry level pay will rise to £13.45 per hour. Londoner's starting out with Lidl will see an increase from £14.35 6o £14.80 and with length of service pay will rise to £15.30.
