As capitalism forces more people into the “gig economy” these rights are more vital then ever.

This will be a major theme in the GE. Do we want the free market vision that those controlling Johnson envisage? Most do not. The Deal as presented allows the door to this world to be well and truly open.
Workers rights are a direct obstacle to the low tax, low regulation future he wants. This is the reality of free market capitalism. Those who say that we can have more rights as workers in such a "gig" economy are selling snake oil.

Exactly who is going to take which rights away from workers? This is al smoke and mirrors.
What we don't want is the imposition of artificial "rights" for the sake of levelling the playing field so that France's restrictive practices can prevail.

That's an easy one to answer. The answer is the Conservative Party. As I posted earlier, they have already made significant inroads but this is only just the beginning if the Tory right get their way.
I would also welcome a clarification of "artificial "rights""?
