This is about to kick off big time - the newly formed CDO, it has a full name but is essentially a bunch of Boris Johnson obsessives trying to upset things. And for what? Johnson will march them up to the top of the hill and leave them there again, once he realises the polls aren't lying and he can no longer do his lucrative after dinner speeches.

If these waste of space (Johnson and Nat) get elected again it will show how little most people care about who sits in Parliament and represents them.
Could the local Tories really not find someone else who is not as despised and unpopular as Natalie.

I think she will lose , and the govt itself
It has made itself to unpopular .
Although Labour likely to scrape in, it won't be because people are behind Labour , just they are the best of two evils .

But according to the stories the Wombles only live in Wimbledon, but never mind it was another photo opportunity.

Like everyone who joined Eurotunnel in the early days he would have been made fully aware that the considerable benefits package would end at state retirement age. He signed the contract. He has no reason to complain now.

According to Nat: "In simple terms, Stephen does not get equal pay and conditions to another, younger, worker, simply by reason of his age. If Stephen falls ill, he cannot get the same access to speedy private healthcare that other people working for the company can get. That includes in relation to a workplace injury. If, heaven forbid, he died, his wife Marsha would no longer have compensatory insurance through death-in-service benefits."
And: "Another excuse that has been given is that covering older people becomes more expensive for everyone because the premium for the company goes up. This is, of course, an absurd excuse. Applying that logic, would it be okay to exclude from employment benefits people who have a heart condition, cancer, a bad back, a disability or a chronic condition? Of course not. We would say that that was discriminatory and wrong, because it is."

Hm. I thought that healthcare is usually funded by constraints on pay rises and/or an insurance policy taken out by the employer, whereas death in service benefits are usually funded by a pension scheme to which employees and the employer contribute. With regard to the latter and in this case, extending DIS benefits beyond state retirement age will surely add to the pressure on contribution rates for all, if only marginally. I suppose Nat's next step will be to allow all new employees to join a pension scheme irrespective of their age when hired.

It seems everyone including the comprehension challenged Ms Elphicke are ignoring that he signed a contract that clearly stipulated this as one of its Ts & Cs. Secondly if he didn't like it he should have challenged it at the time or got onto his union (oh he's not a member - what a surprise).
Sadly this is an instance of the stupid being strong in both the shouty parties.
As for Ms E's nonsense above, the hypocrisy is gob smacking if unsurprising & this is how contracts & health insurance work, but she knows that & is ignoring it for the sake of some grandstanding & publicity. Odious individual.
