      I wouldn’t take this as any kind of truth given the source, but honestly, who cares what the conservatives think or want right now.

      Keep talking guys. You need to keep reminding the public why you’re insane and unelectable!

      >The legislation would ensure that “employers to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment.”

      >Conservative frontbencher Greg Smith MP said in a recent committee debate on the bill: “We must question whether the benefits of these clauses will be outweighed by the burden on employers and, in certain respects, by the chilling impact on free speech.” He said he was concerned that employers would be burdened by having to “police that which most of us…would call more innocent banter.”

      Wouldn’t fancy working at his office, can’t imagine it’d be good if he’s going to bat for sex pests for whatever reason it may be.

      Like the working time directive they will try to dress this up like a good thing…maybe holidays are holding people back and stopping them from working to their hardest

      I wouldn’t be surprised if Reform wants the same given their incoming American overlords.

      If they’re talking about this then you can be pretty sure they’re probably going to use WfH as potential wedge issue between ‘metropolitan Labour’ and ‘council estate Labour’. They’ll also see it as something that might pull voters away from Reform.

      No shit, they’re tories. They’d bring back slavery if they thought they could get away with it.

      “Conservative MPs are also pushing to allow companies employing fewer than 500 people to unfairly sack staff within two years. 

      Their move states, in their own words: “This amendment would exclude employers with fewer than 500 employees from the removal of the qualifying period for the right not to be unfairly dismissed.”

      Crazy to come out saying you support unfair dismissal

      This is a great move. After banning woke sandwiches and woke Christmas romance films, woke holidays and woke paid annual leave are the next obvious targets.

      Full on fascism. “Please vote us, not Reform, promise we’ll fuck over the working class even harder. Look at these small boat crossings making up a whole 2% of all this migration hooha, that’s what we should take as cause for all our policy instead of, you know, literally everything else”.

      This is one of the reasons why the elites coerced the hard of thinking into voting for Brexit as they wanted to roll back some of the protections that the EU brought in and become more like the USA where they have ‘at will’ employment without any rights.

      You’d have thought that after being kicked from office they’d stop being cvnts and actually take stock

      Would love if we had our human rights protected by some kind of union of countries to help defend the masses from the few, the right wing right wing local politics.

      Question, I assume these Conservating MPs will also want to scrap their rights to paid holiday and annual leave too.

      Surely if we are to reduce the burden on the tax payer, improve the economy, innovation etc ….

      Yes?

      /s … I know the answer

      I don’t get it.
      Tax reduction for the rich, and sell it to us as trickle down economics. Sure I get the grift.
      But basic workers rights and benefits that makes our “world beating” wages remotely tolerable?

      Who is that for
