Labour’s disastrous (un)Employment Bill is back in Parliament next week.
Keir Starmer had a chance to bin the Bill when Angela Rayner resigned. It’s no secret that it was Ange’s baby. So why didn’t he drop it when she quit?
In fact, Starmer could have used it as an opportunity to reset his government’s catastrophic relationship with business – not one mainstream business organisation supports this Bill in its current form.
But Starmer isn’t one for sound judgement, as the past two weeks have made abundantly clear.
Instead, Labour have doubled down on the Bill. Not only are they pressing on against all warnings from industry, but they have also pledged to vote down all the positive, cross-party amendments made to it in the House of Lords.
