Angela Rayner is the type of politician the UK needs to move forward. She is a star! I hope to see and hear her much more in the future. A breath of fresh air ...
She’s so genuine and relatable, brings home how the Tories have been running the Country to benefit the top 1pc and giving the rest of us soundbites and word salads. I’m so fed up of the Tories and ready for a real change.
You mean you like her because she has a regional accent. Everything she says is the same bs other politicians say, she just doesn't have a home counties accent so you think she's different.
I strongly approve of her proposal to build more council houses. Mr Mandelson will be trying persuade Mr Starmer to drop that on the grounds that it is not aspirational enough just the same as he criticised Angela Rayner as shadow Education Secretary for wanting to introduce universal free meals. That wasn't aspirational enough.
"I strongly approve of her proposal to build more council houses." How many? How is that going to be paid for? In what timeframe? I can't believe people like you just swallow a vague meaningless statement like that. People have been saying similar things for 40 years, it never comes to anything and there is zero reason to think anything is different with Rayner.
@@archvaldor I agree with what you say and if you look elsewhere I have been critical of the Labour leadership. I just did not want to be overwhelmingly negative.

Do you not see the double-act they're playing? It's clever. In order to get in power, the Labour party needs to steal voters from the Tories. That's Kier's job. Appear as inoffensive as possible to people who lean a little too right wing to vote for a genuine Labour party. Meanwhile, Angela is allowed a little more freedom to appeal to committed Labour voters.
With Berkshire, Munger and Buffett have each accomplished a remarkable feat. They've made a lot of individuals rich by transforming thousands into billions. Reading Berkshire's annual letters helped me realize the market's potential. I recently sold my condo in the Bel Air neighborhood with the intention of investing the proceeds in the stock market. Crossing fingers!
Increased losses for portfolios are anticipated this quarter as a result of market drops, skyrocketing inflation, a large rise in interest rates by the Fed, and rising Treasury yields. Just a good FA will be enough to guide you through the current market volatility.
I've been in touch with a coach for a while now mainly because I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions.

@@Saffron_Weisz I'm going to look him up as well because I want to start with some excellent capital-it might not be much, but it's better than nothing. Considering that the 2008 crash is resurfacing.
A lot of comments on here showing how distrustful people are of Kier Starmer and co... I get it but if you think for a minute - what kind of power must be arrayed against him? The 0.00001% who are desperate to continue the status quo for as long as possible, they'll be cutting his balls off left right and centre. He has to be smart, smarter than we can possibly imagine - he has to think of the long game and play every move right. I too wish he appeared more confident - I wish he was the lion we all want - like Mick Lynch AND I wish they'd supported the pickets BUT... I'm also prepared to watch and wait because I know the reality of his position is tough. He's trying to turn a corrupt ship around but it'll take time AND cunning to beat the establishment. I first came across Kier Starmer in a little documentary called McLibel - it's free on youtube. It's about a postman and a gardener who took on McDonalds and won. Kier Starmer helped them as a young lawyer. He did it for free and stuck with them through the whole process all the way to taking the UK government itself to court because the libel laws in the UK are unjust. So... I have no doubt his heart is in the right place - but the powers that be are just that, powerful, clever and manipulative. I think we should give him a chance... We all want Labour to jump up and start championing the working man but we saw what happened when Corbyn did that - the right wing oligarch owned press immediately jumped on him as a communist etc... I think Kier is playing a waiting game - a smart game. He knows that the rightwing press are ready to jump on his every move. OR... he IS a coward and I'll be the first to shout that out if he disappoints us. All I'm saying is we gotta give him a chance.
Many of us have given Starmer a chance, and unfortunately he's come to show that there's a reason he has a "Sir" tacked onto the front of his name. For me, it's not necessarily his political stances that are concerning, but more about what he's doing behind the scenes, such as cutting out proven good Labour MPs and Councilers, or having one of the worst expenses claims, one that in four short years is currently higher than all four leaders of the party going back to Blair had combined in all their years in office, and rivals the worst Tories have put out. Had the talking points of the party been what Rayner laid out here, Starmer wouldn't be getting any of the stick he is today. Which begs the question, why the sudden change? If his acting like a Cameran Tory to date was all 10D political chess to get the right wing press on side, how is it Rayner came out and set this speech out when the election hasn't even been called? Are the right-wing press just going to ignore this, because let's be real, had this come out in Corbyn's leadership we'd be getting across the board headlines of the country being driven towards Communism for the next month. I mean she stated putting mental health on par with physical, yet only last week the shadow minister for mental health quit over it not being any priority for Starmer. This sudden worker's rights speech also ties in with a number of baffling videos from the New Statesman, a traditionally Tory-lite Neo-Liberal outlet, also calling for "radical" Labour policy to tackle the crisis the country is in. I want to believe what Rayner is saying here is reality -- I genuinely do -- but they've damaged their reputation so badly in the past few years that the cynic in me is saying the party is now in a place where the establishment is happy it won't be a threat in any way and so they are happy to put out the soundbites to grift the working class into voting them into office at the next election.
another Starmer fanboy posted similar nonsense above - Im guessing you and they have been paid to post. Sorry but Starmer has already proven hes untrustworthy and doesnt deserve a chance
@@keithparker1346 maybe... None of what you guys say is wrong... he COULD be just changing tack for the optics, meanwhile will quite happily sell out the working man once he gets in. Business as usual... And yes he's moved a long way from that young idealistic lawyer that he was. They have knighted him with that 'sir'. No better way to kill idealism than with money and status. I'm not an apologist, I'm an optimist. It would be pretty miserable if labour and conservatives were the same as Democrat and Republican - i.e. two sides of the same coin. When Obama got elected everyone felt so hopeful for a moment but in the end he was the same if not worse... a massive sell out. All I'm saying is that until they're in power I'm prepared to see what plays out. We've all heard parties promising the earth before elections - the manifestos that turn out to be empty air and not worth the paper they're printed on... Kier is actually not promising very much - I'm pretty sure the easier path would be to make ridiculous and unfulfillable promises. And frankly... like it or not we don't have a lot of alternatives.
@@keithparker1346 I'm not being paid to post! Also I'm not a fanboy - I barely keep up with what's going on. I'm just bored at work on a Tuesday afternoon!
@@kcwliew I couldn't agree more (with your original post). When the vast majority of the media have a vested interest in keeping anything resembling a labour government out, any labour leader needs to be really careful in what they say, knowing full well it will be scrutinised and torn apart to the enth degree.
Pretty sure that if Rayner and her overall philosophy were at the head of Labour, I could vote for them. Shame Sir Kid Starver's the one calling the shots.
I've been deeply critical of Labour since, well, at least 6 months since Starmer took over. Rayner has done more to sell Labour as a credible government in the last 48 hours than the party as a whole has done in it's entire time since Starmer took over. Let's just hope that this all isn't something that a few negative headlines in the press will result in a media scrum of backtracking two weeks from now with claims that as much as they want to help workers, we have to prioritise getting inflation down. Or worse, what with seeing the likes of the New Statesman all of a sudden calling for a radical Labour agenda, that this isn't all a cynical ploy to get working votes onside now that the establishment is confident Labour is fully prepared to take over and continue the Tory agenda in their name.
It's vague words. You are aware that all the stuff has been in Labours website for months? Meaningless without any action behind it. I suspect she has been told to butter the unions up. It's unlikely any if this will happen
Yeah... made me sad too. But lions aren't born in a day... maybe Kier is slowly feeling stronger - I can't imagine the powers arrayed against those who want to change the status quo. If you want to know what kind of person Kier is watch the film 'mclibel' he was a young man - he helped a post office worker and gardener take on McDonalds. He did it for free - and they won. It's full on David and Goliath and well worth a watch if you haven't seen it. So, I don't doubt his heart is in the right place... I just wish he had more courage but hopefully that will come in time as he builds confidence. I'm happy to see what happens next...
I can't imagine the powers arrayed against those who want to change the status quo. - hahahaha - Starmer is a Sir. Hes pure establishment, pure status quo. You sem to ignore Starmers complete sell out recently@@kcwliew
@@keithparker1346 well maybe - but maybe not. I mean just because you've been knighted doesn't mean you sold out.

Do I really believe the 20,000 permanent staff employed at Whitehall & BoE have somehow decided to ignore the countries' economic prosperity? No, i dont. Do i think we need bold policy to break out of low growth cycle, which has been exacerbated by Brexit? Absolutely, but that's a much more intricate train of thought than her statements.

Talk is cheap. And I’ve heard this tune before. The last Labour government done nothing to revoke the Tebbit laws, etc, so I won’t hold my breath here either. If they meant what they said, they wouldn’t side line MPs that support unions.
Raising minimum wage is a temporary fix, wages go up and so do the products in shop as it costs more in labour to make, pack, distribute and sell the products. In the long run the only beneficiary of it is the tax office. I do see a need for wages to go up but a solution should be found to bring prices down in the shops and utilities to a more of a reasonable cost.
She doesn't have to. She tells him what he needs to do to win an election and get a majority. Labour have led the polls by 20 points by offering no alternative. Now they'll be nudging a 30 point lead and a landslide majority
Putting mental health on a par with physical health is great. However, I hope there are serious guardrails in place to stop pharma companies inventing more trending psychological issue “awareness” that they can treat, but which don’t actually exist.
I trust her with these promises, and would vote for Labour under these policies in a heartbeat. However, I just can't trust that any of this would be done under Starmer, and its just not worth the risk voting for Labour when you could end up with Tory lite.
@wendywolfman Really??? For example? Can't see how. Zero hours is not the worker deciding to take time off without much notice, which is just having a flexible boss. ZH is the boss denying you a full week of employment some weeks, with little or no notice, against your will. It leaves you unable to budget or plan, and forever fearful in a precarious so-called 'job'. It was only invented for director-level roles, and intensely remunerative temporary roles, not for bar staff, cleaners and other low paid positions.

A damning indictment of this current government and the conditions I'm being forced to live in as a WORKING man who just completed a 75 hour working week yet STILL I have no disposable income. Infact, I don't have enough income to get by.
Remember Tony Blair and his lies
Im a newly elected Union rep for Health and Safety. Looking forward to improving conditions going forward. Angela you are an inspirartion to all working class people.
She's a brilliant politician a true working class lady made good. From a social worker to deputy leader of the Labour Party
Angela Rayner is the type of politician the UK needs to move forward. She is a star! I hope to see and hear her much more in the future. A breath of fresh air ...
They'll do none of it.
She’s so genuine and relatable, brings home how the Tories have been running the Country to benefit the top 1pc and giving the rest of us soundbites and word salads. I’m so fed up of the Tories and ready for a real change.
You mean you like her because she has a regional accent. Everything she says is the same bs other politicians say, she just doesn't have a home counties accent so you think she's different.
She's pretty that's enough for me, I would like to thank her speech writer sor a great speech..
She delivers it greatly..
Been pretty helps I guess
@@archvaldor What an idiotic thing to say. Maybe you prefer to listen to an Eton accent.
You have said it, do it.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Starmer and Mandelson will be mobilising as we speak to prevent any of this from happening.
What did I tell you?!
I strongly approve of her proposal to build more council houses. Mr Mandelson will be trying persuade Mr Starmer to drop that on the grounds that it is not aspirational enough just the same as he criticised Angela Rayner as shadow Education Secretary for wanting to introduce universal free meals. That wasn't aspirational enough.
"I strongly approve of her proposal to build more council houses." How many? How is that going to be paid for? In what timeframe? I can't believe people like you just swallow a vague meaningless statement like that. People have been saying similar things for 40 years, it never comes to anything and there is zero reason to think anything is different with Rayner.
@@archvaldor I agree with what you say and if you look elsewhere I have been critical of the Labour leadership. I just did not want to be overwhelmingly negative.
A ban on zero hours would be a mistake.
I work a zero hours contract and it suits me down to the ground.
Still, this lot have got to be given a crack of the whip. It can’t possibly be any worse!
trust many ppl who say that it can be a lot worse.
This makes me feel hopeful for my countries future, its been too long 😅
Why is Starmer not saying this? Why does he keep rolling back promises to align with Tory promises?
Starmer will contradict it all in no time.
@BluetwoNo she is Deputy leader, this is part of her remit.
@@darrenpearce6617No. This is her job as Deputy, her & Starmer work together.
@BluetwoNo, he is Labour alright, a intelligent, clever man. He & Angela work together, do you think that he didn't know before hand what was in her speech?. If so how wrong you are.
Absolutely zero faith this will even make it to the manifesto let alone actual implementation.
Excellent
Sounds great, let's hope they actually do that...
I seem to remember Starmer promising a bunch of things too...
As a tory angela rayner just convinced me to vote labour at the next gen election.what a strong woman 👏
She's so good! Great to see some passion from labour. Shame we have Keir as leader and not her
Do you not see the double-act they're playing? It's clever. In order to get in power, the Labour party needs to steal voters from the Tories. That's Kier's job. Appear as inoffensive as possible to people who lean a little too right wing to vote for a genuine Labour party. Meanwhile, Angela is allowed a little more freedom to appeal to committed Labour voters.
With Berkshire, Munger and Buffett have each accomplished a remarkable feat. They've made a lot of individuals rich by transforming thousands into billions. Reading Berkshire's annual letters helped me realize the market's potential. I recently sold my condo in the Bel Air neighborhood with the intention of investing the proceeds in the stock market. Crossing fingers!
Increased losses for portfolios are anticipated this quarter as a result of market drops, skyrocketing inflation, a large rise in interest rates by the Fed, and rising Treasury yields. Just a good FA will be enough to guide you through the current market volatility.
I've been in touch with a coach for a while now mainly because I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions. I made a good amount of earnings during this dip, which made it clear there's more to the market than we average joes know. Having an investment adviser is the best course of action right now, especially for near retirees.
@@Saffron_Weisz How can I get in touch with this man?
@@AlfredR92 Andrew Glenn Adams is a true genius when it comes to portfolio diversification. He is SEC-regulated, so you can look him up online.
@@Saffron_Weisz I'm going to look him up as well because I want to start with some excellent capital-it might not be much, but it's better than nothing. Considering that the 2008 crash is resurfacing.
I think she's brilliant. I want her to be PM.
You do realize Starmer will renege on all this in a day or two?
Let's see how long this commitment lasts
A lot of comments on here showing how distrustful people are of Kier Starmer and co... I get it but if you think for a minute - what kind of power must be arrayed against him? The 0.00001% who are desperate to continue the status quo for as long as possible, they'll be cutting his balls off left right and centre. He has to be smart, smarter than we can possibly imagine - he has to think of the long game and play every move right. I too wish he appeared more confident - I wish he was the lion we all want - like Mick Lynch AND I wish they'd supported the pickets BUT... I'm also prepared to watch and wait because I know the reality of his position is tough. He's trying to turn a corrupt ship around but it'll take time AND cunning to beat the establishment.
I first came across Kier Starmer in a little documentary called McLibel - it's free on youtube. It's about a postman and a gardener who took on McDonalds and won. Kier Starmer helped them as a young lawyer. He did it for free and stuck with them through the whole process all the way to taking the UK government itself to court because the libel laws in the UK are unjust. So... I have no doubt his heart is in the right place - but the powers that be are just that, powerful, clever and manipulative.
I think we should give him a chance... We all want Labour to jump up and start championing the working man but we saw what happened when Corbyn did that - the right wing oligarch owned press immediately jumped on him as a communist etc... I think Kier is playing a waiting game - a smart game. He knows that the rightwing press are ready to jump on his every move.
OR... he IS a coward and I'll be the first to shout that out if he disappoints us.
All I'm saying is we gotta give him a chance.
Many of us have given Starmer a chance, and unfortunately he's come to show that there's a reason he has a "Sir" tacked onto the front of his name. For me, it's not necessarily his political stances that are concerning, but more about what he's doing behind the scenes, such as cutting out proven good Labour MPs and Councilers, or having one of the worst expenses claims, one that in four short years is currently higher than all four leaders of the party going back to Blair had combined in all their years in office, and rivals the worst Tories have put out.
Had the talking points of the party been what Rayner laid out here, Starmer wouldn't be getting any of the stick he is today. Which begs the question, why the sudden change? If his acting like a Cameran Tory to date was all 10D political chess to get the right wing press on side, how is it Rayner came out and set this speech out when the election hasn't even been called? Are the right-wing press just going to ignore this, because let's be real, had this come out in Corbyn's leadership we'd be getting across the board headlines of the country being driven towards Communism for the next month.
I mean she stated putting mental health on par with physical, yet only last week the shadow minister for mental health quit over it not being any priority for Starmer. This sudden worker's rights speech also ties in with a number of baffling videos from the New Statesman, a traditionally Tory-lite Neo-Liberal outlet, also calling for "radical" Labour policy to tackle the crisis the country is in. I want to believe what Rayner is saying here is reality -- I genuinely do -- but they've damaged their reputation so badly in the past few years that the cynic in me is saying the party is now in a place where the establishment is happy it won't be a threat in any way and so they are happy to put out the soundbites to grift the working class into voting them into office at the next election.
another Starmer fanboy posted similar nonsense above - Im guessing you and they have been paid to post. Sorry but Starmer has already proven hes untrustworthy and doesnt deserve a chance
@@keithparker1346 maybe... None of what you guys say is wrong... he COULD be just changing tack for the optics, meanwhile will quite happily sell out the working man once he gets in. Business as usual... And yes he's moved a long way from that young idealistic lawyer that he was. They have knighted him with that 'sir'. No better way to kill idealism than with money and status.
I'm not an apologist, I'm an optimist. It would be pretty miserable if labour and conservatives were the same as Democrat and Republican - i.e. two sides of the same coin. When Obama got elected everyone felt so hopeful for a moment but in the end he was the same if not worse... a massive sell out.
All I'm saying is that until they're in power I'm prepared to see what plays out. We've all heard parties promising the earth before elections - the manifestos that turn out to be empty air and not worth the paper they're printed on... Kier is actually not promising very much - I'm pretty sure the easier path would be to make ridiculous and unfulfillable promises. And frankly... like it or not we don't have a lot of alternatives.
@@keithparker1346 I'm not being paid to post! Also I'm not a fanboy - I barely keep up with what's going on. I'm just bored at work on a Tuesday afternoon!
@@kcwliew I couldn't agree more (with your original post). When the vast majority of the media have a vested interest in keeping anything resembling a labour government out, any labour leader needs to be really careful in what they say, knowing full well it will be scrutinised and torn apart to the enth degree.
£100 says none of that will happen.
I agree I think this is just to appease the unions
AR for PM!
Pretty sure that if Rayner and her overall philosophy were at the head of Labour, I could vote for them.
Shame Sir Kid Starver's the one calling the shots.
Brilliant speech. So exciting to hear these words.
words and action are very different things.
I've been deeply critical of Labour since, well, at least 6 months since Starmer took over. Rayner has done more to sell Labour as a credible government in the last 48 hours than the party as a whole has done in it's entire time since Starmer took over. Let's just hope that this all isn't something that a few negative headlines in the press will result in a media scrum of backtracking two weeks from now with claims that as much as they want to help workers, we have to prioritise getting inflation down. Or worse, what with seeing the likes of the New Statesman all of a sudden calling for a radical Labour agenda, that this isn't all a cynical ploy to get working votes onside now that the establishment is confident Labour is fully prepared to take over and continue the Tory agenda in their name.
It's vague words. You are aware that all the stuff has been in Labours website for months? Meaningless without any action behind it. I suspect she has been told to butter the unions up. It's unlikely any if this will happen
Considering Keir Starmer has gone back on every promise I've heard him make so far, I wouldn't throw any hope behind these pledges.
Its a shame she didnt stand on the pickets with her power hungry at any cost boss
Yeah... made me sad too. But lions aren't born in a day... maybe Kier is slowly feeling stronger - I can't imagine the powers arrayed against those who want to change the status quo. If you want to know what kind of person Kier is watch the film 'mclibel' he was a young man - he helped a post office worker and gardener take on McDonalds. He did it for free - and they won. It's full on David and Goliath and well worth a watch if you haven't seen it. So, I don't doubt his heart is in the right place... I just wish he had more courage but hopefully that will come in time as he builds confidence. I'm happy to see what happens next...
I can't imagine the powers arrayed against those who want to change the status quo. - hahahaha - Starmer is a Sir. Hes pure establishment, pure status quo. You sem to ignore Starmers complete sell out recently@@kcwliew
@@keithparker1346 well maybe - but maybe not. I mean just because you've been knighted doesn't mean you sold out. They gave him an honour - I mean I guess he could refuse it but that's not really an argument. That's like saying ANYONE with a 'sir' is a bleeding sell out. I mean, I quite like sir David Attenborough for instance.
Words words and more words !
Good speech! I'll vote for that!
If Labour are to repeal anti-union laws, why not repeal Braverman's legislation stopping peaceful protest?
Starmer said that needs to bed in - so good luck seeing those laws go
Because it is easier just to amend it
@@professorpigeon6517 there's no indication they will try to make amendments either. According to David Lammy they won't have time. They will have 4 or 5 years. It's a ridiculous excuse
Wow!
You have my vote.
"This government has turned it's back on our economy" - I understand this is Politics (capital P). However, why do they always think people are dumb enough to believe these one liners? Do I really believe the 20,000 permanent staff employed at Whitehall & BoE have somehow decided to ignore the countries' economic prosperity? No, i dont. Do i think we need bold policy to break out of low growth cycle, which has been exacerbated by Brexit? Absolutely, but that's a much more intricate train of thought than her statements.
What a profound, deeply touching speech about one woman's climb ... while being a single Mum no less (!!)... all the way to Deputy Leader of the Labour Party! I am certain a million interesting stories could be told about her life already! Much good luck to you in the future, Angela !! 😃👌
Nicked one off the army ads there.. good call

Well don't get used to it, either they'll U turn on it OR not get elected.
@@keithparker1346 doesn't anyone know in the comments that the labour party no longer represent the working class? They represent the leftist elites, from Emily Thornberrys chav jibe to a white van man with an England flag outside his home to Gordon Browns bigoted woman jibe to Tony Blair's sending everyone to university (to end up in debt with a Micky mouse degree) aspire away from your working class roots, should be aspiring middle class policy.......to this woman who wants to expand, a mandate widespread clean air zone.

Good speech.
But I fear that Starmer will be backtracking on this within weeks.
Talk is cheap let's see if this actually happens, if they gain power.
How refreshing ....I like this woman.
Angela Rayner? I'd call her 'Leader' :-)
Lost all hope and don't believe any of them anymore
Words, words, words. She's a ruthless careerist like the rest of em. None of the things she talks about will happen.
A wealth tax is what we need.
In a Starmer government, I wished! I don’t see Rayner lasting long.
Talk is cheap. And I’ve heard this tune before. The last Labour government done nothing to revoke the Tebbit laws, etc, so I won’t hold my breath here either. If they meant what they said, they wouldn’t side line MPs that support unions.
She 's not Leader yet, and I SO want her to be. Give her a chance!
Raising minimum wage is a temporary fix, wages go up and so do the products in shop as it costs more in labour to make, pack, distribute and sell the products.
In the long run the only beneficiary of it is the tax office.
I do see a need for wages to go up but a solution should be found to bring prices down in the shops and utilities to a more of a reasonable cost.
Exactly, all the prices should never been allowed to go up to start with
Has she spoke to her chief before all these promises ?
She doesn't have to. She tells him what he needs to do to win an election and get a majority. Labour have led the polls by 20 points by offering no alternative. Now they'll be nudging a 30 point lead and a landslide majority
I hope there is another investigation into Hillsborough and Orgreave.
Good god, PLEASE FOLLOW THROUGH ANGELA!!! Goosebumps
With that coup careerist Kid Starver as party leader, what's there left to believe in Labour?
Putting mental health on a par with physical health is great. However, I hope there are serious guardrails in place to stop pharma companies inventing more trending psychological issue “awareness” that they can treat, but which don’t actually exist.
This is who we need leading the Labour Party.
Heard it all before but hope it happens 🤞
I might be wishing too soon, but I look to Angela and her Party on the Government benches with a powerful mandate.
She needs to be the face of the Labour Party!!!! A down to earth girl that's lived on the other side!!!!!!
I trust her with these promises, and would vote for Labour under these policies in a heartbeat. However, I just can't trust that any of this would be done under Starmer, and its just not worth the risk voting for Labour when you could end up with Tory lite.
Did Keir's head explode when he listened to Angela's speech? How dare she say things that go straight against him following Tory policies?
Will be interesting to see how long these pledges last
Mega U turns in 321🤣
0 hour contacts are really handy for certain workers.
@wendywolfman Really??? For example? Can't see how. Zero hours is not the worker deciding to take time off without much notice, which is just having a flexible boss. ZH is the boss denying you a full week of employment some weeks, with little or no notice, against your will. It leaves you unable to budget or plan, and forever fearful in a precarious so-called 'job'. It was only invented for director-level roles, and intensely remunerative temporary roles, not for bar staff, cleaners and other low paid positions.
@@iskrajackal9049exactly I'm a home carer, tell you now social care would improve drastically if contracts were offered, sort out the staffing issues if they had more security, more clients would be fitted in as the office staff would have to be more efficient with the Rota's to not waste the agencys money on hiring and paying staff unessessarily, 0 hours is really bank staff so that could still be available for those that want that
Did she mention Taxing the Mutinational corporations to fund all of this ? I may have missed that bit, if she did.
I like Raynor, most left wingers do. Unfortunately Starmers in the hot seat not her.
And therein lies the problem...

Believe you when I see Kier on a picket line and wearing a RMT badge
Nice to hear Labour talking positively about unions.
My cynism and experience tells me Starmer's Labour will win a thin majority and capitulate to big business within days of coming in to power. Shoot me down if I'm proved wrong.
