It will be interesting to see how this all plays out, I don't see it as a political decision by TFL. If anything you could argue that an Uber driver would potentially more likely be a Labour rather than Tory voter and that a Black Cab London Driver could be more right of Centre, so it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Probably saying they would have supported Farage era UKIP may have been more accurate. |

Interesting ruling from the Supreme Court this morning, which will have implications for not just its drivers, but also other freelancers and those working in the 'gig' economy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/business-56123668 |

Having just spent half a year studying employment law I'm glad they came to the right decision though I think it would have been very hard to justify any other decision on the facts. I don't know what Uber's contracts with drivers look like nowadays though so it's entirely possible that they will be considered independent contractors and even if they aren't Uber might go out of their way to ensure that they don't ride the line between workers and contractors anymore.
