• THE Labour Party policies on banning zero-hour contracts and reducing the working week to 32 hours over four days phased in within 10 years, with no loss of pay, is excellent.

No other main party has this policy. Don’t believe people who will try to negate this policy saying it’s too costly and will be anti-productive.

Technological advances have reduced the number of jobs available and produced a highly competitive labour market where you must sell your soul to get a job.

By modernising the working week to lower hours and condensing it into four days per week would mean less stress and fatigue for workers, workers would be more enthusiastic. Sickness levels would go down, this would improve productivity.

By going to work four days instead of five would alleviate overcrowding on public transport and the roads in the rush hours, this would be much better for the environment.

Parents would have more quality time to be with their children and it would reduce childcare costs. People would have more time to exercise and keep fit, so this would cut down health care costs.

Unemployment could be mopped up by a shorter working week, therefore, reducing the cost of unemployment payments overall. This is real progress which we must embrace.

All those people criticising Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party are an obstacle to progress. We must elect a Labour government in power to implement these policies.

Don’t vote for other parties or you will end up with a retirement age of 75 years. And it will be more likely that those that are in full-time jobs will eventually end up working zero hours.

Only Labour can change people’s lives for the better – please do the right thing and vote Labour.
