If Cable is involved we can expect swift and forceful supine inaction.
I know and that is why Labour should be on the case. The scale of zero hours contracts used by the likes of McDonalds can't be allowed to continue but I'm expecting Cable to end up doing no more than issue a few guidelines which will be studiously ignored by business.
I am also under no illusions as to the complicity of Labour on other issues you might expect them to oppose and for example Liam Byrne ought to just cross the house, admit he's a Tory and go and sit in IDS'S lap. Hopefully some serious arguments as to why zero hours contracts are bad will be put forward by Labour to counter the inevitable "it's bad for business" nonsense.
