So a short tale from election world. Eldest son is changing jobs. He has a new one he's about to start in a week or so.
One of the jobs he applied for back in March was Labour. Heard nothing.
Middle of last week gets a call from labour press office for an interview (pre election announcement).
Friday evening another call to cancel the interview but offer him a 6 week role in the press office through the election.
He's super excited and even though it's only a temp role wants to be in the room where it happens etc. Waiting for a contract to be sent over on Saturday.
Sat am call - sorry we haven't got enough money so there's no job.
Luckily all this before he binned off the original job, but a) he's obviously gutted and b) what a shit show.
