I note that Labour MPs are fond of using zero hour contracts for people who work for them. The union Unite, in response said: "Parliament passed the laws that are supposed to protect pay and conditions – our MPs ought to be upholding them, setting a high standard for employers. “We are calling...

Maybe it's merely my interpretation, but it strikes me as those with allegiances to the left seem to be using ZHC simply in the manner of "Same old Tories, looking after their rich industry toff chums". I have little experience of them, personally, but we have one person on here who is...

Institute of Directors: This was a solid and responsible Budget. Few chancellors would be able to resist the temptation to binge on a £22bn windfall from the sale of bank shares this close to an election. By using it to pay down our national debt, George Osborne has shown commendable discipline...

Get in! I will now have to give very serious consideration as to who I vote for now.
