Labour continues to be absolutely dreadful at press releases when it comes to things they've improved.

geepster.bsky.social•40 days ago

Maybe the press (led by the likes of The Telegraph, the Mail, Express and Times don't want to highlight it, preferring instead to castigate Rayner because she did follow the rules and guidance advised.
How dare she!!!

Lab should stop leaking/briefing to them then.

geepster.bsky.social•40 days ago

Eh???
You're blaming Labour for leaking to the press but can't justify that because it isn't printed???

Wow, that's bizarre 🤣

cptbadger.bsky.social•40 days ago

sorry are you saying that labour aren't briefing the press?

Good

iwasid.bsky.social•40 days ago

Good, but is it a sneaky sop to cover for all the bad stuff they're doing?

Problem is that, inevitably, through age/injury/illness, workers become unworkers - and, at that point, the government appear eager to stamp on their faces forever.

I don't want to hear 'working people this, working people that, working people blah blah blah' .. I just want to hear 'people'.

At the same time new claimants of the benefit will begin receiving an almost halved rate, so will only be entitled to £2,800 less than current claimants from April next year.

Makes a change with hitting the vulnerable with benefit cuts, still bastards, Meanwhile, around 2.4 million families claiming the health element of Universal Credit will lose around £280 a year from April next year.

Big disappointment.

Re Zero Hours contracts …..are workers still dependent on the good will of the employer .
Will employers have the right not to contact some workers if they so decide ….so no hours are given at all ?
Are all Zero Hours contracts guaranteed a number of hours work ?

By the time these provisions come into effect in 2026, the corporate lobbyists like the CBI will have watered them down still further.
