Farage’s MPs vote AGAINST more rights for you at work

  • 72%+ of public back new protections for 15m workers
  • But Reform UK stick to their anti-worker stance

MULTIMILLIONAIRE Nigel Farage’s carefully cultivated image as “a man of the people” faces new questions.

All of Mr Farage’s Reform UK MPs voted against the Employment Rights Bill – expected to improve conditions for 15 million workers.

The proposal for new laws which Reform UK opposed is set to:

  • Extend statutory sick pay and protection from unfair dismissal from day one.
  • Give every worker the right to request flexible hours or patterns of work.
  • End zero-hours contracts by requiring contracts to reflect regular hours worked.

Between 72% and 74% of the public support each of these measures, found a 2025 poll.

But Reform’s last manifesto said: “We must make it easier to hire and fire so that businesses can grow.”
