The whole social contract's ****ed. Yeah, my oldest has a summer job delivering for dominoes. hes 19 so about £7.50 ph, £1 per delivery on top which kind of doesn’t cover the car costs of delivering the pizza. 30p more per delivery if you put the sign on your car. zero hours contract . how anyone can live on that is beyond me . it doesn’t cover the rent on his flat over the summer while he’s not at uni, so I’m paying that and all the petrol etc otherwise he’s as well not working at all .

Their strategy is be a bawhair short of the tories so tories fancy voting for them. Same with Brexit etc. Expecting labour to offer a genuine alternative will leave you waiting a long long time. It is a shame they dont aspire to offer a real alternative but theres a reason they are called Red Tories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very dangerous precedent if banks don't want the risk of taking on new business etc. It’s herd mentality from mortgage lenders. I heard a mortgage broker talking on the radio about how a small mortgage lender hadn’t been raising its rates then found it was now top of the best buy mortgage tables. They panicked because of the applications they were receiving and raised rates to get off top position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
