Meanwhile in the real world, the confederation of British industry have warned Teresa May not to close the door on low skilled migrants. Splendid news for the mike Ashley’s of the UK. Heaven forbid that the local population should receive a decent livable wage.

You mean the very thing the Tory party have opposed for centuries?

Wages are a simple supply and demand model - lack of labour wages go up lack of jobs wages go down.

What I don't understand is what workers rights are going to disappear when we leave the EU - seems to be the major sticking point for Labour.

Were the consequences bad when we stopped trading with the Commonwealth to join the EU?

The Tories have had to be forced into applying certain workers rights and some of them even opposed the minimum wage being implemented.
Their default position is to allow market forces to settle everything.
I can even remember how the "free" market was going to save us all a fortune on our Gas and Electricity and not just line the pockets of already fat, fat cats.

Conservative = Selfish = Greedy

We have had a Tory government since 2010 - every year the minimum wage has increased so I am not understanding how us not being in the EU will impact that.

What other rights are Labour concerned about?

I would suggest you be careful what you wish for - if Labour nationalise everything do you honestly think that utility costs will come down

Labour = industrial disruption = inefficient industry = union power

That wasn't Labour was it - certainly nothing like any Labour party before and certainly not like the Labour that Corbyn is suggesting should be let loose on the country.

Blair was further right than Cameron.

So you are claiming Blair as a Tory so that you can take the credit for some of the good that he did
