Hot on the heels of the shameful bullying allegations around the death of a young party activist, yet more charges of bullying are emerging against leading members of the Tory Party.
This time Lucy Allan – Tory MP for Telford – has been recorded screaming at a young woman employee who had been signed off sick by her doctor:
“You are on a temporary contract. You are not protected by the law. You do not have 12 months’ service. If you sign yourself off sick … the only option will be to dismiss you.”
This gloating by a Tory MP about the fact that workers have no legal protection comes as new research shows that 14 million people faced debt problems in the last year directly related to the fact they are on temporary, part-time or zero hours contracts:
- 1.26 million people now are forced to work part time because they can’t get a full time job
- 565,000 work a temporary job because they can’t get a permanent job
- 790,000 people now are forced to work on zero hour contracts as their main job
And the Tories claim to be on the side of working people …
P.S. Lucy has also been in the news recently after she was accused of faking a death threat from a constituent:

And let’s not forget the time she publicly defended a wife beater and questioned why he was being sent to prison for ‘shoving’.

The young woman was lucky to get signed off. The new DWP procedures for GPs is to tell anyone suffering from work related stress to go back to work and sort it out, as “being in work is good for your health”.

More evidence that Lucy Allan, the Tory MP who faked a death threat against her, shouldn’t be let anywhere near power. And there were people who reckoned Gordon Brown had ‘psychological flaws’. This woman’s got so many of them that I recommend that if they ever make a sequel for the film, Horrible Bosses, they should start in her office.

Before she became an MP she made the news in an article recounting the fact that she nearly lost her son via social services after going to her doctor for depression.
She also admitted to drinking wine every night.
She claimed that social workers fabricated reports about her to make her appear as if she was an unfit mother.
Maybe that`s true and maybe that isn`t. But can she be trusted if she is prepared to make up stories about a constituent that could have had serious consequences?

The person should demand a signed copy of her contract if they cannot provide it then the corrupt MP has lied again

There are a lot of issues mixed in here, but the central one is that the employee has been working there for four months and her doctor has advised her to take four months off sick. Add to that are the allegations of misuse of the internet.
MP’s staff are paid for by the public and there is a duty to get best value for money.
If you separate the fact that the MP in question is a nasty, despicable excuse for a human being from the employment question, I don’t think she is wrong to be letting this one go.

But there are decent and legal ways of letting people go and then there is the typical Tory way of doing it.

Hairy loon the Dr signed her off for 4 weeks not four months. The MP said 4 months not the employee. Either way the treatment of the employee was disgusting. The employee had 3 days of in a month, the MP threatened the employee by saying get into work or you are dismissed. No matter what due to constant changes to employment law via said government the employee had no recourse to any support at all in being bullied and dismissed.
