No offence -but how is there time in this parliament for *THREE* votes on assisted dying but not yet enough time to legislate employment status for millions trapped in bogus gig self employment?
MPs vote against fresh attempt to legalise assisted dying -

As Trump is forced to face reality by Iran - good time to revisit the opening scene of The Newsroom.
America simply isn’t the greatest country on the planet - any doubts to that have been laid to rest over the last two weeks.

Worth remembering that Uber paid Mandleson big money to do dirty business for them in Russia.

It is a HSE legal requirement that restaurants MUST provide access to toilets for delivery workers. @wagamama_uk Camden force couriers to use a "Deliver-loo" separate from customers. Can you guess which one is which? Much easier to exploit a humiliated & marginalised workforce!

Uber must ban him for life and support the driver's legal costs as he takes a civil case against Sutherland and Uber who put him in harms way.

"......rewarding those who give, not take."
Get in the sea with this right wing, hateful, shameful propaganda. Who is "taking" and from whom are they "taking" it? Immigration has ALWAYS been economically additive for the destination country and extractive from the originating.

Well done to the LTDA. This not only puts much needed £ in the exchequer and protects taxi drivers from unfair competition, it also safeguards an attack on Uber driver worker status by delinking agent/principal from VAT. This is a very important victory for all TPH workers.

#AssemblyTransport has published two letters to the government and @TfL, calling for a range of measures aimed at improving Taxi and Private Hire drivers’ financial security, working conditions, and the safety of drivers and passengers. Read the letters: london.gov.uk/who-we-are/wha…

Well, they would say that wouldn't they. Why doesn't Uber prove it by allowing publication of all journey data in the UK just as they must in New York, LA Chicago?

Great to see @ADCUnion branded thermal bags in the wild at McDonalds Belfast at midnight. Belfast gig workers are unionising rapidly. Rogue platform bosses are terrified!

There has been significant executive flow between dodgy ride share companies, dodgy vape companies, and dodgy gambling companies. All need to be very strictly regulated. Never let these people tell you they can self regulate.

So many Uber drivers & Deliveroo riders would love to carve out a Friday evening (or any other) to have dinner with their families & support their children in their extracurricular activities. But because they don't have basic employment rights, they can't. Will Keir fix this?

There is a salutatory lesson here about the failure of firms like AL to effectively compete with Uber. You just can't win a race to the bottom against Uber because they'll always go lower. AL should have listened to @ADCUnion's advice.
