    They are called Labour I suppose, more of this. What has become lost from our politics is the unannounced introduction of measures to help people.

    really curious what type of person will fall for the bargain “what if we give you extra rights tied to your job, then take away your normal rights when you get sacked!” I imagine the most strident defenders won’t be the ones covered under this; anyone concerned about the working class as a whole won’t be impressed compared to the cuts from this government. I was gonna say maybe a few craven trade-unionists would get on board, but the only one quoted is a Labour peer and even he’s not impressed.

    so I’m wondering who really digs hearing about it, the target audience. in the US, part of the pipeline to the right for young people has been a hollowed-out appreciation for the aesthetics of organizing, post-Bernie 2016. would play great with them. but I don’t know any analogous target audiences in the UK?
