How long before employers are no longer legally required to give their employees lunch breaks?

      I so wish to see a study where people apply Exec-Level "work time" counting onto your average shmoe. I figure you end up at like 100-hour-average workweeks

      I guess if my coworkers were all Tory politicians I'd feel the same.

      I could have cracked that joke on Have I Got News For You and got a 6 figure salary and shares in Elbit Systems Ltd.

    Easy to say when you've only ever worked for the benefit of yourself and not for others.

      Tories and Republicans are pretty much the same, but there’s a big difference between Labour and Democrats:

      One genocides Palestinians, while the other genocides trans people. we-are-not-the-same

        Give the Dems and Starmer Labour another 2 months and they will fully align.

    The anti lunch break stance makes sense for a tory politician, but what does she have against sandwiches? She claims she eats steak for lunch, does she cook it the night before and eat a cold steak at her desk while she works? Does she cut it up into bite sized pieces before as well? Because there is no way you can cut up a steak and eat it while working. You can sit at your desk and pretend you're working, but you cannot cut up a steak and eat it while working unless you have three hands. None of this makes any goddamn sense.
