Labour to pass law within 100 days

- MIKEY SMITH

A LAW to protect workers from unscrupulous bosses is set to be included in Keir Starmer's first King's Speech.

The Employment Rights Bill, which Labour plans to pass within 100 days, will ban zero-hour contracts and outlaw "fire and rehire" tactics.

It is one of 35 new laws to be revealed as the Prime Minister puts growth at the heart of his plan to rebuild Britain.

"Our work is urgent - there is no time to waste," the PM said last night.

"We are hitting the ground running by bringing forward the laws we will need to rebuild our country for the long-term - and our ambitious, fully costed agenda is the downpayment on that change."
