There was more misery yet to arrive courtesy of Angela Rayner, a woman who makes Rachel from Accounts look like Einstein: she was going to enshrine the “right to switch off” in the Workers’ Rights Bill, making it illegal for employers to contact workers outside normal working hours. This crazy plan has now been dropped.

That it was considered in the first place shows you quite how much this crew fails to understand how business works. Sometimes it is essential to contact people outside normal working hours: doctors if there’s been a medical emergency, at its most obvious.
