'If we want parents back in work after having children, how are we meant to do this if it’s shocking to log off at 6pm?', writes Anna Silverman.Some things in politics are controversial: whether MPs’ abuse their use of expenses; whether a leader would use nuclear weapons. Do you know what shouldn’t be controversial? Logging off at 6pm on a Friday to spend time with your family, whoever you are.
And can’t we trust Starmer to work flexibly? If he’s logging off at 6pm on a Friday, it’s safe to say he’ll be clocking back in elsewhere if he needs to. We know flexible working is essential if we want to close the gender pay gap and bring about equality.
For some, be it parents, carers or disabled people, being in a job where they’re able to log off at a certain time might be the only reason they’re able to work at all. A stricter regime from employers might exclude them from the workforce entirely.
