Labour are on a roll, that's what! Huge swing in Blackpool South, lots of council seats gained, one of the worst performances for years.
Well it's no surprise when even the Great Leader (rtd) and chief buffoon forgets his ID when it was his big idea to stymie some labour votes.
So, here's an opportunity to post your lame excuses Tory boys.... though it might be more interesting to read Tony's interminable posts.

If there was one election promise Labour actually lives up to (I say this without favour because all incoming governments fail to deliver on all the promises) which one would you like to see actually happen? Personally I would go for zero-hours contracts.

What’s going on in Oldham? Sir Keir said to his chaps “There’s an election coming, and see those seats of yours, you need to ‘old ‘em if you want to keep your jobs.” But they didn’t manage to. Which is pretty piss poor considering how crap the Tories are. Labour even crappier! Apparently is was something to do with stale sandwiches containing old ham.

I would like the flexibility that £350k in the bank would give me.
Ideal zero hours contract as it would involve zero hours of working for an employer.

However apparently there will be an option to continue with it if such is your choice. |

Says somone who has never had one and it’s likely the only people he’s met who have one are serving him food and drinks. |

Labour lost control of the council due to losing seats to Independants (Gaza/Isreat issues) not because of stale sandwiches or being crappier than the Cons... |

I would likely ensure anyone wanting the job does so for entirely altruistic reasons. |

Yes I agree the biggest problem is having professional politicians. I’m of the opinion we should have a citizen assembly. Where a diverse group of people are selected from he population every four years or so. A bit like jury duty, they couldn’t do any worse than the shower we have now. They would be more likely to serve the interests of the country than their own vested interests. |

Is it your opinion that one has to have experienced a thing before being entitled to have an opinion about it? That would make having an opinion on assisted dying rather tricky. |

However apparently there will be an option to continue with it if such is your choice. You are conflating zero hours contracts with minimum wage. They are not the same thing and being on one doesn’t mean one is on the other. There are loads of self employed people on “zero hours contracts” - whereby they decide what work to take on and how many days to take off, but they may well be well paid. Being on minimum wage and zero hours contract usually arises because the person doesn’t have much in the way of skills to offer an employee other than basic grunt. This usually arises because they didn’t bother to pay attention at school and are too lazy or stupid to train for some higher grade employment, spending their leisure time gawping at the box, pissing it up down the pub etc. rather than on self-improvement. |
