The Daily Mail are leading the charge against Labour’s Employment Rights Bill. The main features are currently popular with the public, and it’s now Labour’s job to make sure it remains that way and they get this huge bill through parliament with its key aims intact. Will the new comms team be up to it?

Thank God that Zero Hour Contracts will be no more. This was a heinous move by the Tories when they introduced that evil policy. They will be ditched now FOR GOOD!
How many times as the word "Fury" appeared in Daily Mail headlines over the past 40 years? There must be many millions of furious people out there!
If the Daily Mail hates it, it must be good for workers.
What do we want?
Less rights!
When do we want 'em?
Now!
Most workers spend most of their pay. Neo-Liberal Conservative Consumerism absolutely love people spending money. More pay = More turnover = More productivity = More profit. Welcome to Capitalism.
Its a mixed bag, some good , some not, but its under consultation over the next two years, which could mean two things.
Employers have two years to prepare for it, or state a case for not supporting/opposing this new bill.
Labour (or Reeves ) is not expecting a upturn in the economy for at least the next two years, either way some of the people on this page wont get there "workers utopia " for a while yet.
Small businesses won't survive if they are depending on the workers that earn their profits are being paid low wages.Subsidised employees are working on low wages,and we are actually making the profits for the managements out of the public purse.The 'creaming off' for no effort managements has met it's Waterloo.
The Mail hates everything.
Spare a thought for the recently unemployed Tory MP's. Not.
Yerp the workers party, cause progressive politics always has a focus and Labor is always the workers
My advice to the Daily Mail: Cope
Next……Media
Brilliant stuff as usual Phil.
It's not the job of politicians to negotiate the rights of salaried workers; the rights and working conditions of worker, are best negotiated by the labour-unions. What does Starmer know about the working conditions, that confront and challenge workers? sweet-sod-all; the man is by-far, too vain.
Good to see these changes. I'm on a permament contract now but I had some horrendous experiences on zero hours back in the day. More than once I was lied to about how long a job would last (was promised 3 months, got 9 days once), and it left me in trouble with rent. You can't run a household if you're at risk of being let go with 24 hours notice (or your shifts suddenly get halved, like what happened to my wife), or you can't get sick pay. I'd rather be unemployed than ever go back to the stress of zero hours. If I was out of work now I would only apply for permanent contracts even if it took longer to get one.
I am calling it now. The budget will be hated and break the manifesto. The seals on this channel with clap and defend it regardless. That’s what a cult does…
Capital gains tax threshold is already down to only 3K, a quarter of what it was a few years ago with no indexation allowance. VAT has been at 20% since 2011, and on today's post inflation prices, that's a huge tax take for the treasury. What is Rachel Reeves on about? We're nearly at full employment – lot's more paying tax and national insurance. Individual households paying thousands in council tax, paying for others in our benevolent society in which the middle classes are already doing everything they can to pay for your benefits. All this just to pay for more Labour vanity projects? If we can afford those projects, we can afford to honour Boris Johnson's social care fees cap.
No suprises. Daily mail righ wing paper
As a business owner, many have the option of doing absolutely nothing, while other people run around making them money. I appreciate most don't do nothing, but it is an option for many. It would seem sensible in that position to want to keep your workers happy, so that they want to keep making you money and yet so many business owners make their employees lives worse, just so they can make slightly more money out of them. In terms of biting the hand that feeds you, this is up there with all of the people who keep voting against their own interests.
Good, let the Daily Fail continue to throw toys out of the pram. And maybe find a way to shut them down while we're at it.
Ban UK media non dom owners to save UK democracy.
Daily Mail, left to them, they would take us back to the Poor Law, and the workhouse.
TLDR: Tories are Chaotic Evil.
Daily wail upset?
Perfect
Keep up the good work.
Who
Buys The Daily Mail?
These were watered down according to labour reports.
Do we know the details?
So the Daily Mails argument is that small businesses should be allowed to abuse their employees???? That doesn’t seem a good argument to object to the new legislation.
Red tape is the protection that is needed, I have seen many employers objecting to the most basic of employment rights so imagine what they would do o without red tape.
yeah….this country has hardly moved on since the early 1800's has it ? I mean, even today people are being ASKED TO WORK so they can pay their way in life. How heartbreaking. Why do they need to make an effort AT ALL ?
😂😂😂,if it makes the daily fail,mad and furious, must be a great bill
Given that there are a lot more workers in the UK in low paid jobs, millions on zero hour contracts, and probably as many with really poor T&Cs, the Right wing propaganda machine and their puppet parties need to tread carefully. The same ill informed fools who believe their tripe are the ones this bill is aimed at helping. Sooner or later a lot of pennies will drop.
When the former TORY Government announced they intended Britain to leave ECHR and replace it with a new worker's charter designed by themselves. We all knew this would in NO way even compare with ECHR's degree of protection for workers. Quite the opposite in fact. From the speculative snippets I did hear, it was beginning to sound like the first step toward slavery ! It is no secret the Tory Party's dream is the medieval "Lord & Serf" feudal system. I have not yet read anything of Labour's 'Worker's Bill' and therefore I cannot comment. But is this intended to replace ECHR or run in parallel with it? As others have said, "Anything that angers the Daily Maul and the Tory Party, MUST have benefits for the British people generally, and not just the chosen few !
A government elected with a massive majority has to temper its policies to suit the papers?
Shocking the Mail furious.
Let us have a party to celebrate.
Labour needs to keep the Tory client media angry.
I welcome Labour taking steps to improve workers and renters rights on principal without knowing the detail. But austerity has to end, it's been 14 years since 2010. People are fed up of public services being cut and effectively rationed, it has similarities with WW2 rationing which, incidentally lasted 14 years.
Now like then, after 14 years people are fed up of it. WW2 rationing was necessary, post 2010 austerity was a political choice and one Labour do not have to continue to make!
Retired Tory MPs could go to work in care homes 😂
Daily Mail hates anything that improves the lot of normal people.
They will never accept the Tory hammering at the general election.
Can’t believe anyone reads it!!
I know people selling up and leaving and taking there bisnesses with them.
The Daily Mail has always been a Fascist supporting paper, they supported Oswald Mosley and his Black Shirts who supported the Nazis in WW2.
Awesome video, looking forward to se what happens with this, I hope Labour will manage to out fox the tory media with their messaging
Giving a Daily Heil Editor a massive embolism from rage should be any sane person's dream.
How about giving workers a right to keep their hard earned wages instead of having to pay it away in exorbitant taxes, energy prices, council taxes etc
I thought Phills analysis of organisations being inept at recruiting the right people for the job summed up the present situation in the Labour party beautifully.
Three things that really make me laugh about the right wing media reaction to this. Firstly, complaints about uncertainty. Valid point. Big political changes do cause uncertainty, and business get twitchy. Look at Brexit. Except the right wing media spent from 2016 to June 2024 suggesting that businesses complaining about brexit uncertainties were "remoaners", "trying to undermine the democratic vote" and "have had plenty of time to prepare".
Secondly, the idea being put across that businesses are stopping hiring now. The legislation hasn't even been properly set out yet, let alone implented. By the time it is, workers being hired today will if still employed be largely already under the same protections suggested.
Finally, the idea that it's along with other budget propsals is going to cause inflation and interest rates to rise. Except when Lizz Truss' budget caused big rises to inflation and interest rates, that was all down to the "woke" "blob" trying to bring down the government. Shouldn't they support labour and engineer so that interest rates and inflation fall?
