    Watched an interesting discussion on Newsnight about Miliband's proposals. All sides agreed that it gave employers plenty of 'wriggle room', and the head of UNISON (which represents care workers) didn't hide her disappointment, referring to the proposals as 'modest' or 'very modest', and 'a first step'. Interesting that Clair Hawkins has been trumpeting that Labour will 'end zero-hours contracts', but the new proposals fall very far short of that.

    Meanwhile, Farage has been headlining that he, too, is against zero-hours contracts in many instances.

    Point is that all parties have to do a balancing act in order to try and retain the advantages of zero-hours re flexibility of working and keeping unemployment down (zero-hours is a major factor in keeping UK unemployment far below that of the average on the continent), whilst trying to cut down on abuses.
