I'm not in the UK (any more) but I sure as Christ would not vote for that guy. Abhorrent as I find politicians to be in general- that **** is better suited to the student union.
It is despicable how low UK politics has sunk.

If between May, Farron and Corbyn that's your take, I'm Please you're elsewhere!
You've looked into to it? Go find the relevant case that also happened in England.
If you're aware of a relevant case then why not simply present it to the other poster instead of replying dismissively like that?
It's pretty clear tbh http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=4109
you've got it the wrong way around again - thanks to people like you voting labour you're splitting the vote - if you want to oppose 'the tories' you should be voting for the more competent opposition which is the lib Dems
especially in areas where they've got a better chance of winning than labour!
really you ought to be looking at tactical voting depending on your constituency tbh... rather than simply saying one of the opposition parties is the one to go for
Seems like an appropriate time to post this:
An old one, but a classic. Though I'm pretty sure Lib Dem policies are no longer as popular as they were 20 years ago. The pseudo-liberals have done considerable damage over the last decade in particular.
That ruling seems more about whether regular voluntary overtime is actually considered to be normal working hours, rather than redefining the eligibility of voluntary overtime to count towards holiday entitlement, though I will admit the outcome is virtually the same.
Voluntary overtime counting towards holiday pay would mean people being given the option to stay late one evening or come in on a weekend as something that is a one-off would also accrue an element of holiday for that time. I can see why some employers don't want the hassle of differentiating.

There's been later case than the one you've linked too.

You can refer me to post 2118 all you want, I'll refer you to White & Others v Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council [2016] 1300537/2015 which does set a precedent.
Repeating a meaningless catchphrase like a broken record worked wonders for Donald Trump, which is presumably where she got the idea from. It makes her look dishonest and sometimes downright stupid when it's clearly not even vaguely related to being an answer to a question, but it might work for her too. I'd be insulted by the idea that my attention span is short enough to fall for it, but mind-numbing repetition does have an effect on people.
Well, it may have an effect but it remains to be seen if it is going to be positive?

I'm an undecided voter. Like an ethereal fog, I drift from work to the sofa, and back out again in the morning. Half awake, half asleep most of the time, I can vaguely recall some news update on the telly, maybe two - the world is in an awful state; the country - going to the dogs. Sigh.
There was a woman on the other night; the presenter said she was the PM. Blank. Another election is coming. I really don't care. Everyone drones on about this, that and the other at work and on Facebook; I just get on with my life. Do I have a life? Sigh.
8 June. What is to be done? With a thousand further sighs and a heavy heart, I shamble off like a decaying mutt to the polling station to do my civic duty, passing a small demonstration on the way. Silly sixth-form students. Lots of red! Two chaps with purple rosettes are grappling in the mud off to the side. Politics does strange things to people! I weave past the temporary chaos - we live quiet and decent lives here, you understand? - and into the local primary school. It's decision time! But whom or what am I voting for again?
Alone with my thoughts and the ballot at last, what do I remember? 'Stronk!' whispers the motherly voice in my head. 'Hmm, but what about this funny Labour chap that reads to kids and snaps selfies in train loos?' I wonder, as old memes come to the surface. 'Not stronk!' answers the motherly voice, now harsher, grating. 'But what if...' I resist. 'No ifs, no buts! Stronk and stable leadership is what your heart desires,' comes the clincher. Very well.
As I scan down the ballot, there it is 'Pippingworth, Mary Elizabeth; 22 Steadyforth Drive, Buntingford, SG9 9AD; The Conservative Party: Stronk and Stable Leadership This Country Needs'. Close enough. I put my cross in the box. My duty is done. See you again in five years.
The lead is only 13 points now. Labour has closed the gap to be the same as the gap between blair and major in 1997... how did that one turn out again?
