I remember Brexit supporters saying Brexit wouldn’t mean workers’ rights would be affected. I remember some of those same people saying our rights could even be improved.
I remember them saying that if this mob make things worse for workers then they can be voted out and replaced by others who could make them better free from EU interference.
That was a point I made anyway.......

Agree with you here delbert. Obviously worker's right aren't going to improve if we elected right wing Tory governments. But if Corbyn had got in, they would have been in a better place than under EU directives.

At who's expense? Not every employee works for a multi trillion multinational, some work for someone who has founded a business and decided to employ a couple of extra people. When JC (say) doubles the minimum wage, what happens to them?

She's got two and a quarter years until parliament dissolves on 17th December 2024. Plenty of time to b*llocks things up.
The right wing frothers like Baker, Mogg etc will use her to try and bring in as much of their old b*llocks as possible.

Not if it requires legislation. The Lords can block any crazy for a year and plenty of tricks the opposition can pull. Then it will need funding if it is a biggie. By then it will be the election.
They can tweak around the edges, but not too much harm outside of a budget. That’s my main concern, it is long enough to do financial harm.

Joe Lycett seems to have got the Daily Mail frothing at the mouth with some comments he made on the BBC recently. Here's some more brilliance from him from Sunday Morning.

Not so mate. Major ( aided, it transpired by standing on a box) won his first election.
[and. how we enjoyed David Mellor and Co.....]
But we did vote him out eventually though mate, the point I was making (probably poorly) is that we can rid of our governments, I didn't mean specifically dumping a replacement PM at the earliest opportunity, although I can see why it looks like that.........

Thought Johnson was going to put a f*** tonne of Tory cronies in the HoL? That'll sort this problem out for Truss, seeing as she is Continuity Johnson .
