Irrespective of whether it is hypocrisy or not I think it will be very difficult for Labour to defend. It does look very bad and where the message isn't simple (i.e. 'Zero hour contracts are baaaaaadddd' as opposed to 'On occasions, when not used in place of full time or part time contracts, zero hours are permissible. Otherwise they are unacceptable') then it is going to get lost.
''Newspeak is the fictional language in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, written by George Orwell. It is a controlled language created by the totalitarian state as a tool to limit freedom of thought, and concepts that pose a threat to the regime such as freedom, self-expression, individuality, and peace.'' The Daily Mail is particularly adept at preventing sensible discussion by over-simplifying everything into becoming absolutely black and white. And also encouraging anger, resentment and fear, thereby increasing the readers' appetite to accept the simplification.

There's using zero hour contracts to employ somebody who works for you on an ad-hoc basis so they're paying tax and NI correctly. That's what they're actually for. What companies, not just Sports Direct either, are using them for is to restrict rights to employees that are defacto full-time. Look, I know this is an emotive subject and I'm no fan of New Labour. However, they're the lesser of two evils this time. Rag on Milliband and hypocrisy and all that but the fact is, the Tories are much much worse. They're bad, even for Tories. Agreed, I distrust all politicians but as a public service employee the Tories are only in it for big business and their mates in the city. As they don't need public services they don't see why anyone else should have access to them.

Corbynite acquaintance has complained about the security implications of a flat in their concierged block being used as a holiday let. I'd love to see their thinly veiled discomfort were it used for the asylum seekers they so vocally welcome.
