Reforms idea was better , raise the tax threshold to £20,000 , workers are better off and it doesn't cripple small businesses , win win
Exactly, so why the he'll didn't more people vote Reform? It's sickening that so many didn't vote. And even more diabolical that morons voted Labour. I'm so sick of this country.
Better still scrap income tax
Zero hour contacts were introduced in 1998 under a labour government.😂😂😂
Yet it was Thatcher and Major government employment policy that paved the way for them.
Shuusch!
@@martynblackburn9632And Labour implemented it. They had a choice not to, you know...
@@ty194 Labour believed in flexibility for workers.
@@martynblackburn9632no they didnt. They legislated for in work benefits that took paying people a fair wage from the employer to the state! That has created a trap for the poor and over reliance on the state. You can trace every current problem to Blairs labour and the cowards of so called tories who were basically a tribute band of the Blair years. We need true financial governance and that has never been a labour policy! Were in for trouble especially for the poor
HOW CAN U LIVE ON £12 A HOUR, PAY ALL YOUR BILLS AND FEED YOUR FAMILY , GET A GIP GBN
It's not what you get an hour it's what you take home that counts!
Difficult to get a good job at the moment. Definately loads of young people with good qualifications can't get jobs
Plenty of overqualified youngsters who were sold the scam of higher education.
You get paid for the job not your excess qualifications.
True and don't forget, if you are a zero hour contract with no work to do, you are not counted as unemployed, even if you have no work to do. Secondly, if you do the equivalent of 6 days on minimum wage and no more, because there is no more, you are not counted as unemployed for the remaining three weeks of the month. The Unemployment level is much higher than they are telling you!!!!
I hope Ben stays with Reform. Very intelligent man.
How can you illustrate he’s a very intelligent man, what has he done for the country up till now that shows his intelligence in Reform will help? Or are you just saying random things because you’re an idiot? Pray, prove me wrong.
🎉lol, he just got sacked 😂😂😂😂
He's aninvvvvader.
You OK?
No. No he isn’t.
😂 Habib is putting a brave face on it but he’s seething!!! 😂
There is very little work in smaller towns in the UK because they have destroyed the labor market so much I believe that the reform lies to the public and manipulates people
I love Ben Habib. I feel for him. Reform should have given him a superb job in Reform. He is like me - he wears his heart on his sleeve. He was always so cool, calm and collected. Please stay safe Ben, we do love you.
I worked for years under Zero Hour Contract, it resulted in everyone working harder for less out of fear shifts would be given to someone else,
Hours were Dictated
Verbal Abuse
Probly good for Students
Becoming very Mainstream
Me too, I hated it
Britain is 'pretty good' at fixing the numbers. Ben Habib is a bloody star.
Inflation robs the poor.....
The problem with zero-hours contracts and minimum wages is you can't even earn enough to pay the rent!
The problem is people thinking it was meant to. Its a entery level wage, you're supposed to climb beyond minimum wage as your career progresses.
@@MinkieWinkle Many people are on 3 shifts a week (which change each week) and only earn about 150 pounds a week (i.e. below the cost of average rent even for flat-share). This means no regular working hours, no money to live on, and no future!
@@MinkieWinkleno body thought it would be what it is. You’ve got billion pound company’s paying people minimum wage for 6 plus years 😂 only getting a pay rise when minimum wage went up. This is for skilled jobs by the way, as I can say for myself the entire system is broken
@@edwinmoreton2136 and if those people all quit, due to the low wages. what do you think would happen to the rate?
It would rise, but since people have the mind set of. "this job should pay for everything, as such i am not leaving, they should just pay me more"
That mind set is hurting you, since the employer is getting what they wanted, a worker for low wages that is unwilling to chase higher wages.
Quit, they will pay more if they can not find staff to do the work
@@MinkieWinkle I do believe Amazon is having trouble finding staff? Local eateries and bars are mostly staffed by students, or ex-students with Law Degrees or similar, who are unable to find more sophisticated work.
Good those zero hours contract were the worst policy ever. Those journalists talk about small businessess when the corporations were abusing people with it.
Which means employers will not issue any permanent contracts so employees will not be signing on the dole, and I wonder how it will affect the 70 or more Liebour MP's who have their own businesses and use Zero hours contracts, or will Sir U-Turn do yet another U-TURN??
@@tonyfraser1749 "will not issue any permanent contracts " - are zero hrs contracts any contracts at all? People can be sacked same day . I can agree to the hybrid system - i.e no more than 10 percent of employees on those contracts - some people might like it but for 90% of people a fixed monthly payment is a must.
Lots of students like zero hrs contracts , they are flexible for uni , they would struggle with a fixed hour contract . This will hit them hard , they are also good for mums in school hols , I have friends that wouldn't have managed otherwise
Think hardly anyone likes zero hour contacts. Most care jobs are Zero hour now and they wonder why no one works in the care sector. Anyone who thinks they are a good thing wouldn't be on one themselves.
@@blackpoolbootz2790most care jobs are not zero hour contracts. Rubbish statement
What’s he going on about. You will own nothing and be happy !! 😂😂
I know that phrase, that's what the WEF want 😂
@@h418lfc Neoliberals like Reform and the Tories.
It's funny cos when I owned nothing I weren't really over the moon about it.
We will own nothing but the elites will still have there shit
The thing about raising tax aloowance to 20,000 a year, is that is the National living wage at full time employment anyway.
So earning less than that implies that they are earning far less than the National living wage to live on.
So why are the government taxing people that arent even at the national living wage requirement ?
Dropping zero hour contracts is good ,i should know i was unemployed for a while due to age and no fault of myself.
I recall the jobcentres bullying and not understanding the situation at all, only jobs available were zero hours and you were forced into these non jobs then run the risk of being in a far worse situation due to failed payments of benefits .
Wages are already the minimum level.
I always thought it was a terrible idea to bring in minimum wage, because it gives unscrupulous companies carte Blanche to pay the least possible to anyone.
cheep labor, taking people from other countries
The US also has lots of trailer parks and homeless.
I hated the idea of zero jour contracts and i still do but only for one reason. THEY ARE FORCED by the job centre. And zero hour contracts can be fine for some one who lives alone or lives with parents or have 2nd jobs. They can be of good benefit to these people. Where they are NOT good. Is for families. Where there has to be a stable income. When theres kids to provide for and usually larger bills. Zero hour contracts should NOT be forced in a family setting. Hours and pay has to be Guarranteed.
And you think Employers will now Give out permanent contracts, the reason they used them is they did not need that individual all of the time, now they will just get the work done by other means as it will save them money!!
If we had a limited workforce, instead of an 'enforced' one, we'd have options. . . we could choose one or the other, and wages for both would be high.
Had a zero hours contract once and they forced us to work harder and faster. We ran out of work daily when we did so and had to stop our shift early and lose out on money. Left that job pretty quickly
@@Nora......... Nah think illegal immigrant, they will work for far less than the ordinary Brit will and probably the main reason they are not stopping them coming here!!
@@tonyfraser1749 like i said zero hour contracts should not be forced on families. As families need more stability and peace of mind. Zero hour contracts are ok for some people like single people who live alone or with parents etc. They can make more money than the job centre provides. And they are more flexable. But for families zero hour contracts are a disaster and a constant worry day to day. Wondering if you are geing to get any work and pay today or not?
European socialism is very similar to fascism tbh
No it isn't. Socialism is not fascism. They are completely different.
Opposite ends of the political spectrum. Back to school for you.
@@martynblackburn9632The means by which you get there are fascist in nature before the "utopia" magically appears at the end of it.
Socialism leads to communism which leads to Marxism. You generally have now idea what you are talking about......history proves this theory yet you spout out establishment propaganda 😂😂😂@@martynblackburn9632
@@martynblackburn9632 have a look at Italian Socialism in history i.e. mussolini fascism is not the same as Fascism
Banning Zero hour contract is long over due
Maybe some gig workers should be able to opt out if they want but forcing a guy with a family to work week to week for unknown hours or pay is just wrong
Zero hours contracts should be stopped, no one is going to give up being on benefits without a proper job offer with guaranteed hours why would they.
Labour and Tories, two cheeks of the WEF's arse.
Uk is not united anymore
And that's exactly what they want
When did Northern Ireland reunite witn Ireland and when did Scotland become independent?
Great to hear that .. 😂😂😢😢
@@michaelogrady1002English tax payers haven't wanted them for decades, they are a tax burden unlike mainland UK. Plus they want people to travel from those regions for work in England to have greater influence on them.
Poor Ben sacked by farage. Maybe he should join the movement for more workers rights
Small businesses know how to treat people properly it's big biz who have to relay on mass immigration to keep pay and conditions poor, while driving up rents making more peoplee poor.
After waiting nearly a year for unpaid wages amounting to thousands and no prospect of receiving them, I would disagree most robustly with your assertion.
@@jb-zr4ezthat’s why ACAS exists.
@@special.k904I tried ACAS. They said they couldn't help and told me to apply for a CCJ. That didn't work either.
What do mean by unpaid wages? Are we talking about over time worked? Holidays not being paid? If you’ve been told by acas that there’s nothing they can do I’m struggling to believe you wasn’t paid your wages as that’s completely against uk employment law.
@@special.k904 Wages. I don't understand it either.
Uk isnot united anymore
The Gambia & Poland aside, name a country that is ?
🎉 The woke BBC are still calling Reform a far right party with a lefty leader, they said something about a Zia Yousaf!!!🎉
so we don't regulated bosses which mean bosses can do what they like? hmm so no one sees a problem here
BEN IS RIGHT ABOUT TAX !!!!!!!! I work for the Ministry of defence and my the tax is so high my monthly wages are cut in half !!!! I'm properly paying for all the hotels and phones its sick
Whats the point of people working if they don't cover their bills ?
Are UK workers a charity to help UK businesses ?
Business men like Ben are allowed to spout so many unchallenged lies.
Yanks don't get a lot of holidays. Something terrible like 2 weeks
Just earning a living from political commentary & opinion
The cheek of this guy coming here and complaining 🙄
🎉 Old Habib thinks he can fool us by mimicking an accent. Deporrrrtt🎉

You're fooling nonoe haile salasie.😆
🎉@galladingding, 😂😂😂
And don't forget about the blue badge that allows them to park anywhere and the designated d-i-s-abled parking bays while the rest of us have to ride around town to find and fit our tiny cars into the last available space. 🙄🤦♀️
You wouldn't say that if he was a Muslim. I bet you are a lefty.
Disagree with you Ben Habib. The USA might have higher employment but their employees have to work 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet 😮
The guy on the right, its literally like arguing with a schoolboy
2:20, when you have prosperous ecconomy wages, go up. That's an outright lie from Ben.
The opposit of what we see.
If businesses are making a profit, they don't change anything.
I closed my business down because of all the rules and regulations that came in and the costs involved, it turned out that my staff were earning more than me, and the bank had my house as security should the business fail.
Jacking up wages is not the answer. Disproportionately effects small businesses. How about enforced bonus scheme. Where busineses like google amazon ext who post record profits must pay bonus pay to staff. It's just not right that you can post record profits and pay minimum wages.
A Zero hour contract on the basis of being a 'self employed' worker offers you no protection from bad employers who refuse to pay you your wages. You have no effective recourse from the law at all under such a contract to force employers to do so. Applying to the courts for a CCJ to recover your wages is ineffective as court bailiffs can't recover anything from a company office if it only contains a chair, table and computer. Trying to complain to government employment bodies will result in you being informed that no help is available as you have no rights in the eyes of the law. Many of the workers in the security industry who protect the public from terrorist and other attacks at big events work under these conditions. It's a disgrace.
Managers, workers, too many of those involved in big organisations have slipped into a false narrative, they, time and time again think that procedures, systems, rules and regulations are the way forward in business. Trust me please this is not the way forward, good leadership and properly rewarded hard work is . UK efficiency is lower than ever because those in charge of such organisations have lost the plot! Ben is quite right to point these things out.
Habib is amaizing
There are always remarks about Thatcher.But let’s face it,there were people more able to get on the property ladder then.
When the People's Channel(TM) show you who they really are, believe them.
Most employers are small companies about 80% of all businesses employ less than 10 employees. If you burden small businesses with regulations then they will be reluctant to recruit because it's too difficult to lay off underperforming employees.
i worked for a care agency and on zero hours it worked for me with a young family worked when i wanted but could refuse also with this kind of work its all or nothing when its busy you get loads of work then it dries up
Hiring firing should have almost ZERO friction, BUT! Government should provide safety net, in that case you can have dynamic business (in theory should pay more taxes) and less poverty because of safety net provided by the government. Case solved.
Why would anyone work?
Everyone over the age of 16 and not in higher education, has to work full time, pay pension and National insurance contributions. The better your skills, qualifications, knowledge and smart appearance, the more you can earn.
Can’t even claim universal credit while unemployed! 😂😊🤨🧐
Ban zero-hour contracts NOW.
Economic growth has just become a fiction - idiots, but nothing more than we expected. Just keep reminding Labour that they do not have a mandate as only 34% of those who voted, voted Labour. Put another way, over 60% of the people in this country are not stupid.
They won with 34% of 59.9% of people voting, so won by 20% of the vote in reality
Labour, Lib Dems and Green voters engaged in tactical voting on a massive scale.
Talking about deregulating employment law is just a down right dangerous place!… let’s remove peoples rights to sick leave and holiday pay whilst we are at it.. ohh but the ceo just caught a new boat 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
It's what is happening in South Africa because of Unions rights people are unable to get jobs always people are looking for incentives when looking for jobs
It’s only wealthy people/journalists that in favour of zero hours crap. Dewbs & her guests should descend from their ivory towers and work these difficult jobs. The only instances I can see where zero hours May work, is student’s & retired people
I choose not to work even though I am well under the state retirement age and perfectly fit and healthy because I object to how the government spends my tax. I don't claim benefits of any kind and never have but I pay the absolute minimum in tax that I can legally get away with and have no wish to increase my income just so I can pay them more tax which they will squander. I own my house outright and live off investments and savings utilising all the tax free options I can and my quality of life is fantastic. I can't stop them welcoming people into the country and providing them with endless free benefits but I can make sure it's not me who's helping to fund it.
100% Ben
I may be a Thatcherite but still acknowledge that paid parental leave and holidays should be a thing along with reasonable health and safety.
They will never be a job for everyone because the economy is crap
So Ben Habib wants people to work for nowt then?
Need more Brexit opportunities/ideas put forward from the Reform party?
There are none.
@@wundurra24 This makes me feel that the Brexit dream was over sold by Nigel & BJ?
@@BallTick No sunlit uplands? We didn't get our cake.
omg please dont compare us to the US 😂😂😂😂 a place that has a zero maternity package.
I am an employer and small business owner. A couple of years ago we offered employees a choice between zero hours and fixed hours contracts. I was expecting loads of our staff to choose the fixed hours contracts but was surprised to find most people preferred the zero hours contracts.
How about working for free.In the states employers treat employees like throw away sac. i wonder what is happening for employees of Habib..
Does this mean Sunak s wifes agency's. That earn millions off poor people will be banned?
Easy to find jobs, not easy to get a job salary to bind to the bank.
Always take advice from someone who has never run a successful business
Question for Ben as a business owner:
What mutiplier between the lowest paid in his business and the highest paid, does he deem acceptable ?
Is there even a limit ?

Yeah, yeah....start in Leicester.
Small business have to pay living wage shocker
Don't want to be protecting those pesky workers😂
Are they going to ban work.. All work is exploitative in some way
Aaron Bastani seems to have little of what it's like to be low paid and still paying taxes. He needs to have a circle of friends that doesn't just include his high paid professional metro inclined cliquey buddies.
He's just like the establishment politicians, completely out of touch.
Easy thing to say as a multi millionaire 😂
Raynor has started a recruitment agency it seems 👌
I aint really that bothered ive been doing them for years. Good luck to everyone else because it aint much fun.
Anglo Saxon?? This is a Norman country do your research
Country is doomed if more regulation for small companies. Plus keeps importing cheap labour. Dont for forget boris sacked 40k care workers for no jab then imported overseas then pay less. And all this will be topped up by tax payers. 40k wage with family not to be a bet drain. Just like house rentals its all about big companies and forcing out the little man . Like amazon can off shore and side step taxes but small uk companies cannot. Then we have our out of control public sector with unlimited sick pay and pensions.
Habib be Quiet 😂😂😂
Labour. "There's no money left"
Zero Hour Contracts suit certain people just fine due to the inherent flexibility. Workers need to take more responsibility for their situation and seek the correct contract to suit their needs.
Ben Habib chats utter rubbish he gad no idea hiw the comon people live
I have done more "work placements" (Adult work experience) than real work my Aspergers makes it hard to get a job sure but walking into an interview full of none whites eventually taught me that I am just there as a diversity interview as when I go to the place that didn't give me the job it's always some dark skinned person that made the cut dispite my CV full of work placement history with glowing reviews (Not my words in fact I have never read the reviews) of the work I did.
If I am such a great worker why am I never hired? With college exam results of 75% to 95% why I am never hired? With a ton of charity work and a thank you letter from my local Mayor for highly supporting her charity why I am I hot hired?
What else do they want? Dark skin that is what.
Small business will close and we will have higher unemployment
Already 25% tax is very high. How do you think small businesses will employ people with the new regulations.
Small Business will never take the step to employ new employees .
the goverment says to get people back to work. but its not upto them is it? they cant tell a employer to take someone on
well i sait it before listen to BEN HABIBE HE IS SO RIGHT AS USUAL
All businesses in the future will tend towards increasing super efficiency which means that employers need increasingly more expert employees who add considerable value to the business and worth their weight in gold. In the UK there are far too many low skilled, lazy, free loaders who just know enough to keep their job as if it's 1950. Hahaha. Look, in a lightning fast changing technology based world we need highly skilled folk who can read a scientific paper and implement it in modular electronics or code it in software. Great Britain needs highly skilled folk who can optimise for maximum profit and minimum cost as it's a competitive global market. Hahaha.
Where not European wtf
where ?
@@mort421 lol
Yes we are. Back to school mate.
Ugh, here we go again.
The British are European. Stop slandering the European people.
Let's face it no matter what labour may do they will be wrong
Not contradicting Bens points on the cost of doing business, with excessive red tape and regulation....and/or HR lawfare;
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT... If business looked after their staff fairly and properly of their own volition (exceptions duly noted), there would be no need for such legislation.
How did business get away with importing/paying for cheap migrant labour for instance and destroying our economic future as a concequence ?
1. Government allowed it and encouraged it.
2. Business was more than happy to exploit those workers at the UK expense. Especially the vulture capitalists and metropolitan globalist national asset strippers.
3. The nature of Global competition with other countries DEMANDS a race to the bottom against the cheapest slave economy.
Otherwise everything you look at has MADE IN CHINA stamped on it for instance.
Dont bother looking at that label of course. You can ignore your lying little eyes.
I imagine Ben to be a horror to work for..sounds of it he don't want employees having anything so you reformers beware this is how he treats his workers like dogs
Brexit mess
GB news 1 white women protecting the views of the UK verses 2 foreign born.
Brexit disaster
Reform sheep in wolf clothing be warned!!
He probably sounds more english then you do. You've been commenting for about an hour now. Find a purpose.
What I'd love to know is how many of that 4.5m Ben speaks about are ROP. Bet it's 70% or more.
