Disconnected
Workers should be given the legal right to switch off their mobile phones outside office hours, Rebecca Long-Bailey said today.
The Labour leadership hopeful said employees should be able to refuse to be contacted outside working hours.
Ms Long-Bailey said: 'Aspirational socialism is about us all rising together, and that means coming together to collectively solve issues that are damaging our mental health and stopping us getting quality time with our families or in our communities.
Ah - I see. Aspirational socialism is where you don't allow ordinary folk to have aspirations. Not sure about issues that are damaging our mental health though. Is this a dig at some of her colleagues? Those who also want to be Labour leader? Surely not.

"All rising together" apparently means banning stuff, as it so often does.
She's mad. But that seems to be the prerequisite for high office
She's a very odd person, and seems to like being seen as a nutter. She won't get the 'job' as most normal people in a fading Labour party want to cling on to what they've got for the next five years, not have to go and find proper work after that.
Owning a mobile phone would need to be made compulsory before she can start granting a right to turn it off. It's rather like campaigning for a legal right for workers not to have to ride their bicycles to work in the lashing rain.

Sam - yes they do love banning things.
Graeme - she is mad unfortunately. We need better than mad.
Scrobs - I can't see her getting the job either. Too odd maybe.
Rick - good point but don't tell her about giving people a legal right for workers not to have to ride their bicycles to work in the lashing rain. She may take it seriously.
