General Election 2019 – The Brexit Party “Contract with the People” – analysis of their employment promises

As the name suggests, the Brexit Party has one major focus within its manifesto (which is calls its “Contract with the People”). However, its polices also seek to attract investment and jobs in to the UK, proposing incentives which it states will drive growth and increase revenue from tax. There are no specific employment law pledges, although they will:-

1. Introduce a, “new workable apprenticeship scheme”, improving tax incentives for employers to take on genuine apprentices.

2. Reduce annual immigration and address wage stagnation and the skills gap by introducing an immigration points system that is, “blind to ethnic origin”.

Changes to employment law are clearly not high priorities of the Brexit party, as it focuses instead on Brexit, the NHS and immigration.
