Labour’s “new deal for working people” was in the manifesto for all to see.
But it was reasonable to assume that the right to switch off would at least have been subjected to some kind of consultation before implementation, so as to ascertain the various pros and cons.

The European Commission is meanwhile drafting overarching proposals on the right switch off.
If we are ever to gain any advantage from being out, it would surely be wiser to allow the market to determine how companies arrange their affairs, and not vote-seeking politicians.
Fewer workers equals higher productivity, but also a mountainous bill for welfare.
The big problem with the UK economy is not too little leisure but with more than a quarter of the working-age population not working too much.
