The government
These days, it seems like most western countries have an administration more than a government. Billionaires, the local royals and stockholders call the important shots, then the administration enacts whatever ‘governance’ they decide on to get the rest of us in line so they can administrate our labour and energy. They govern our lives in detail, but let the string-pullers do whatever they want.
We’re the ‘workforce’, not the ‘citizenry’.

I agree but people just don't see it?
It's all "will be fine" or "sovereignty!!!"
Like the tale of the frog being slowly boiled alive.
It has to go badly wrong first. But since the eu doesn't need civil war on their doorstep it won't there are already exceptions for medication, Ireland won't let GB starve.
Only way I can see this stopped is the USA deal being so delayed by that time the proverbial hits the fan so much closer relationships with the EU are negotiated.
I'm really on the fence on Starmer but he seems to convince Tory swing voters. Can that deal be delayed 4 years with labour winning?
Well know emmm not soon.

Remove maternity pay, make parents take time off unpaid - cheaper for companies.
Likewise holiday entitlement, sick-leave, pensions.
Remove welfare provisions - you can lower corporation tax - cheaper for companies.
The government want to get to an even more extreme version of the US system, where the unemployed will (literally) be starved into working in the fields during summer, gutting fish in the winter etc rather than be paid by the state.
Have a look at the IEA suggestions for Brexit Britain - it's goal is to reduce the state to a stub, with everything run by private companies for profit, with close to zero regulation of anything.
