Rayner slams Tories' "nonsense" claims on Labour's reforms

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has criticized the Conservative Party for spreading "made-up nonsense" regarding Labour's workers' rights reforms. She stated the reforms aim to protect employees from harassment, not to ban workplace "banter." Rayner's comments were in response to Tory claims of a "banter ban" and the need for businesses to hire "wokerati thought police." The Employment Rights Bill includes a duty for bosses to prevent third-party harassment, a measure supported by a recent poll. The government clarified the bill won't affect free speech or require speech monitoring. The reforms come amid a rise in harassment cases and opposition from some businesses and right-wing groups.
