Workers’ slight PM PLANS TO SCRAP EMPLOYMENT PROTECTION
Chile’s protest stops Santiago
A MILLION people marched in Chile’s capital Santiago yesterday to demand steps to tackle inequality.
After a week of protests which have seen at least 18 people killed, people walked peacefully playing guitars and waving flags.
Santiago governor Karla Rubilar said the protesters “represent a dream for a new Chile”.
BORIS Johnson will trash workers’ rights after Brexit, according to a leaked Whitehall document.
The Department for Exiting the European Union plan says Britain will diverge from EU regulations on workplace protection.
The document reveals that, on workers rights, the EU and the UK’S “interpretation of these commitments will be very different”.
The Shadow Brexit minister Jenny Chapman said: “Boris Johnson’s Brexit is a blueprint for a deregulated economy. It will see vital rights and protections torn up.”
The fear is that Mr
Johnson wants to turn
Britain into a Singapore- style, tax- free zone after Brexit.
Negotiations on workers’ rights will come after Brexit, when a deal on our future relationship with the EU is thrashed out.
Mr Johnson has always said he believes in “the highest possible standards” for workers and on environmental issues.
Mr Johnson is now so desperate for a General Election he claims he would be willing to hol hold it in Christmas week.
A No10 so source said: “Christmas week has no not been ruled out. We know that’s n not ideal. But that is where we might m be if this is not settled by the end of November.” There must be 25 working days between
the date Parliament is dissolved and polling day. Mr Johnson plans to table Commons votes on getting the election day after day if Jeremy Corbyn denies him one tomorrow.
The PM needs a two-thirds majority of MPS – 434 out of 650 – to agree his preferred date of Thursday, December 12.
But the Labour leader is expected to deny him that by ordering his MPS to abstain.
Former PM Tony Blair backed Mr Corbyn’s stand that a no-deal Brexit must be off the table before Britain goes to the polls. He said: “Labour must not agree to this election ploy until the situation is clarified.”
LONDON mayor Sadiq Khan has called on Jeremy Corbyn to be “braver” and and tell Leave voters they are “wrong” on Brexit.
