BREXIT

[fazersharp]

The dream of the Tory party is a zero hours low wage economy. 

Hasn't the working time directive been agreed by the EU and we have to implement it ?

We are the EU. The policy was negotiated with and agreed by the UK along with all the other member states.  The EU is a democracy after all, and one which works on the principle of consensus.

The Tories will of course aim to scrap the working time directive all with all the other EU work place legislation.  Back in 2015 David Cameron tried to negotiate out of the working time directive. Mr Cameron also tried to scrap laws granting agency workers the same pay and rights as full time employees.
 

So by those two statements you have backed up what the brexiters have been saying all along about the EU. You say that  "The policy was negotiated with and agreed by the UK" but clearly the UK government did not fully agree with it but still we had to implement it ---- just like many of the other UK legislations that you like to point out were agreed by the UK when brexiteers say we dont like the EU legislation. Proof that we did not fully agree with it in your next sentence "Back in 2015 David Cameron tried to negotiate out of the working time directive." . Also brexiters have been saying that you can not negotiate with the EU as you have demonstrated.If you don't like the Tories then stop voting for them - I believe the phrase is

  The people get the government they deserve. 

So I would say that if you want change then its easier to vote for and change a single countries government than it is to change their "Excellencies" in the EU
