Saying the Scots are to blame for the mess we're in is letting the English off the hook for their awful moronic decisions and voting patterns

Blaming the Scots for a Tory government is like blaming the EU for a bad brexit deal.

are scottish ppl "ethnically" celtic or scandinavian or what?

Mostly Celtic, but plenty Scandinavian blood in the north and the Western Isles, the Anglo-Saxons ended up in the south east, and then the Kings brought in a load of Normans who ended up as nobles. And some Bretons, like the bloke whose descendants ended up being the Stewart monarchs.

Basically we're a bastard people, but then who isn't?

At present waiters and ­waitresses can have money docked by bosses imposing admin charges for tips added to credit and debit card payments.

Some restaurants pocket optional service charges added to bills and Labour will ban that practice, too.

Tips can also be taken away from staff to cover breakages.

you put it into law and if the staff continue to get their money stolen, their business gets taken to tribunal and they lose a bunch of money. what's unenforceable?

Yes but they won’t. My sons 18 year old GF works at a local Italian place and she’s not even allowed to take a break in an 8 hour shift. That is illegal already but they don’t seem to be getting called into ET very often. Young and low paid people just quit and then there’s plenty more where they came from.

So yeah 10/10 for trying to get young and low paid people to vote for you Jeremy but I don’t think so.

Also have you really met James Corden? Wow!

might as well not have any laws huh? definitely no correlation between the opposition calling for additional labour rights and labour rights not being enforced.

I've been a waiter/barman in numerous restaurants and quite a few would never give you a break, would keep all the tips to be distributed out at the end of the month only to give you a tenner and a look of indignation that you would question how it was only a tenner and one that gave me a disciplinary letter for getting screamed at by the chef who was also the owner for asking for a piece of toast for one of the customers. The last one I wasn't even on the book and it turned out that they were using the place for money laundering. I had another bring me in for a week of work in his new restaurant, decide he wasn't going to use me any more because despite opening the restaurant he had failed to advertise that it was open, get a sign or even a loving front door (his solution was to have me stand at the fire door holding it open like a giant doorstop) , refuse to pay me, have a decision at a tribunal that he would be forced to pay me and instead he went bankrupt.

Bigger chains this law can be enforced in, family run small business owners will continue to be arseholes who treat their business like they're the dictator of a banana republic.

Still takes a lot of courage for basically a child to demand a tribunal (which is not something you learn about at school) from the person who pays their wages and look like a risk to hire pretty much forever.

The Absolute Government in Waiting is getting tanned in "who would you vote for tomorrow" polls by a government constantly briefing against itself and less than a quarter of the country thinks JC would be a good PM.
