The likes of Uber and Deliveroo are shaking up the jobs market in such a way that one of Theresa May’s first acts as Prime Minister was to commission a report into the future of work. Yesterday, as the PM opted for a much-needed relaunch, that report came out. The likes of Rebecca Long-Bailey, the Labour frontbencher, made their minds up quickly: the report was a missed chance and we shouldn’t use companies like Uber until they clean up their act. Here’s what the papers had to say:
We should feel ‘lucky’, says the Sun sarcastically, that ‘Labour’s preachy politicians’ are leading us on the path ’towards the high moral ground of the hard-Left.’ Yesterday, we heard Rebecca Long-Bailey voice her disapproval of Uber, a company she said was not ‘morally acceptable’. This view might well ‘come as another shock’ to Labour’s young voters ‘who doubtless choose Uber all day long in London.’.
