Agreed, and zero hours contracts offer people a flexibility that will now be denied to them. They also offer employers the flexibility they need for work that is very variable in its requirements for labour. By making these contracts subject to a minimum number of hours per week, employers will instead offer overtime to full timers and the people benefiting with the flexibility of zero hours contracts through family commitments or whatever will lose out.
It’s Labour’s warped thinking on workers’ rights that Farage is calling out, and people with logic can see that he’s right.
If people want regular earnings, they should be applying for part time or full time contracts.

The Conservatives are polling so badly that they are now seriously contemplating a coalition with Reform UK. As Farage has ruled that out, it is clear that the two parties will be standing separately at the next election, but of course if Reform is only able to get into power or make its decisions stick with some sort of accommodation with the Conservatives, things could change.
Unless voters change their minds radically before the next election, I can see Farage becoming our next Prime Minister in the biggest political upset in this country I have experienced.
One of the Conservatives’ biggest donors has now transferred his allegiance to Reform UK with a donation of £1m and he expects others to follow. Expect also an increasing number of defections from Conservatives to Reform in the meantime, which will boost Reform’s credibility with the public.
