SWITCH THE BLOODY PHONE OFF

-

A study reveals young employees check their work emails from 6.37am and a third read them on holiday. Work stress gave me an eating disorder but back then I couldn’t even get a text on my phone!

Smartphone­s are chaining us to the office. Unless young workers learn to log off, they’ll burn out long before they’re able to retire. Let’s follow the French. Their workers have a legal right to ignore emails sent outside a 35-hour week.

Or even better still, switch the bloody phone off at night and get a good sleep! price of gas falls and parent company Centrica earns half year profits of £639million. Its chief executive Ian Conn pulls in more than £4million a year.

It would take the average worker 147 years to earn that.

We subsidise their greed. The Government gave £6billion of tax breaks to BP and Shell to boost declining North Sea production.

Theresa May is happy to let capitalism get uglier by the day.

She scrapped her election pledge to cap energy prices as soon as she won and axed rail electrific­ation across the North.

The market has failed Britain. Housebuild­ing is down to its lowest rate in almost 100 years.

It’s time the Government got back to meeting the public interest by building the homes, supplying the energy and running the trains.

Instead of subsidisin­g the profits of fat cats with a licence to print money – OUR money.
