The Labour Government

BlueHammer85 said:
The government has just confirmed the UK will be re-entering the Erasmus student exchange programme, giving British students access to swaps with universities in the EU.

It forms part of Labour's efforts to move closer to the bloc following Brexit.

The UK left Erasmus under Boris Johnson's government.

Nick Thomas-Symonds, the minister who is leading the work with Brussels for Sir Keir Starmer.

Thomas-Symonds said this morning: "Joining Erasmus is a huge win for our young people, breaking down barriers and widening horizons to ensure everyone, from every background, has the opportunity to study and train abroad.

"This is about more than just travel: it's about future skills, academic success, and giving the next generation access to the best possible opportunities.

"Today's agreements prove that our new partnership with the EU is working. We have focused on the public's priorities and secured a deal that puts opportunity first."

great move for the youth
 
Labour’s employment rights bill will finally become law after a battle in the House of Lords, paving the way for significant new rights for workers on sick pay, parental leave and zero-hours contracts.
Expected to be given Royal Assent tomorrow.

Hands up - All those that won't be surprised, when.

* Unemployment goes up ( even more )**

* Hiring decreases

* People start moving their businesses abroad.

** There are an estimated 1.2 million people on ZHC's in the UK - How many of them will be told, on your delivery bike and GTF, no contract for you, sunshine.

Labour are now considering to issue those claiming benefits free TV Licences. I wonder where the money for that will come from?

Can you explain how you believe AI is currently going to make all legislation irrelevant

Not all legislation. But a lot of the current legislation does not take account of the huge changes in life so will have to be redrafted or scrapped. We are already struggling to cope with the growth of digitisation in society. Shutting the stable door after the social media horse has bolted. The AI revolution is a much bigger change than the Internet. The entire Government structure and process is asleep at the wheel. Other countries, especially in the East, have left us behind.

Hands up - All those that won't be suprised, when.

*Ending fire-and-rehire improves morale and retention
*Decent pay reduces recruitment crises
*Job security reduces staff turnover
*Workers have more spending power
*Good employers compete on innovation, not exploitation.
*Stable contracts lead to higher productivity
*Fewer people rely on in-work benefits subsidised by taxpayers
*Moving abroad” remains a empty threat mostly used by firms already avoiding tax
*Businesses that plan long-term adapt -as they always have
 
Even when good things happen, certain people will find a negative.

Inflation down, and most probably interest rates - good.
Wage rises well above inflation - good.
Workers rise for the majority of the country who are not rich - good.
Huge investment into social policies and housing incentives - good.

I could go on but some will only find fault. Regardless of party, if they’re doing something that benefits the majority of the country, which these policies do, I’m very much up for that.

I "considered" buying a Rolls Royce. I couldn't afford it so it didn't happen. Don't forget many pensioners are benefits claimants.

My stepson was on ZHC. Just before Christmas 2 years ago, the company told him no work until April. He booked an extended trip to the Far East. The company were really annoyed when they changed their mind a few days later to find he was no longer available to work early in the New Year.

Good.
Taking the piss and removing workers rights is a cunts trick.
If a business wants to have the workers working for peanuts with no right to sick pay, no guaranteed hours and no maternity leave then let them fuck off abroad and use some other poor saps to carry out their slave labour.
 
Day one sick pay..... But don't worry, it'll increase productivity.... Bollocks.....

Part of the reason the NHS is fucked is because it rewards piss takers with wishy washy HR policies that mean it's virtually impossible to get sacked... This sounds like it'll mean more of the same.

Similar to some of the fans on here who constantly slag off players and the team in general, they would prefer things to be shit so they have something to be miserable about.
You don't hear a peep when there's a bit of positivity but god forbid there's something negative then it's like Xmas fucking morning for them.

I was reading the comments on the FT website about this. You could tell they were written by employers who see people as a resource rather than human.

Lots of empty threats about closing their businesses because they've been "shackled by the party of the unions"

It's a good thing. As for forty years the system has been skewed too far the other way. It could be a lot better though.
 
Fucking cry babies.

It’s been a negative forum since the day it started ffs because we have shit politicians and governments and that’s politics!

You don’t like something or someone, you come on here and say so!

Majority bleating have years of posts exactly the fucking same.

Funny as fuck watching you all whine about it all of a sudden though.
