Smells like Tory in spirit: Keir Starmer’s decision not to put an end to zero-hours contracts puts him in line with the Conservatives on employment policy.

This is just to serve as a reminder that Labour under Keir Starmer cannot be trusted at all.

Here’s a summary of the new policy:

It came just four days after the party’s deputy leader, Angela Rayner, told the TUC conference that the party would impose a blanket ban on all zero-hours contracts:

The change has been met with a certain degree of scepticism, but the real sticking-point is as described sarcastically by Evolve Politics, below:

It’s all very well to say zero-hours contracts will only be permissible if workers are happy to take them – but that just encourages employers to coerce workers into those contracts, saying they won’t get the job if they don’t say they’re happy to take it on those terms.

Keir Starmer knows this as well as I do. He knows that by imposing this new policy, the so-called “Labour” Party is betraying the workers it claims to represent.
