Where to start....

Parliament first the 🐀💩

Stop middle class cocaine parties probably, test positive and you lose your job.

How about funding the Police well enough to do it, rather than placing the onus on the private sector? He has literally no clue of the litigation this will bring to businesses who will be unequipped to deliver it.

I don’t see how publishing how many of your employees are coke heads is gonna help a business’s reputation ..?

Sod getting wealthy Tory donors to pay fair share of taxation for job creation and giving more opportunity to younger generation than getting involved in drugs. Let’s give out a testing regime to a Tory owned company and make some cash. Deluded. 🙄

They should run a six months trial on the Tory party first to see if this would offer long term benefits, trial of course paid for by Tory donors

Start in the House of Commons

Insist on the Conservative Party doing them first and you've got a deal....

Well done those companies the unemployment office should do the same for benefits

Okay but only if Michael Gove goes first

Can we randomly drugs test the government? And publish the results

That'll make Conservative Party members names more familiar then.

Why?

No worries ShaunBaileyUK, and all elected officials too ?

Jesus Christ We’ve had enough of the Tories thanks. No thanks

How about let people do wtf they want to relax if they're working hard

Start with the Tory cabinet and publish the results

He’s campaigning on cloud cuckoo land

This will be a stage managed campaign like no other due to Bailey’s shallowness. Ask him, will he begin in the Cabinet Office and then Parliament?

Start with all Conservative MPs & party officials.

And achieve what? If y don’t mind me asking. What about prevention, education, better social structure, community investment, good rehabilitation programs and alternatives? Only a thought

Weird idea. No thanks.

His own bosses would fail this guy sure does talk a lot of poop

Weird how this rhetoric appeals to the electoral base. Bet if they test for alcohol it would be a vote loser.

'When people buy drugs, they are funding the criminals who traffic vulnerable kids and unleash mayhem on our streets.' Often these people who buy drugs are victims of these same criminals, you're not going to do good here. Naming and shaming drug addicts is pointlessly cruel.

Why not support the communities and individuals to prevent them falling into substance abuse instead of trying to shame them straight?

Start with the Evening Standard.

Start with the cabinet. Nasal septum examination, + breath and blood test and Internet browsing history check. Skulls clear out half the room in no time.

Gove worried...?

He could start with the government, and especially Gove’s office. When they do it, then he can ask others to .

That’s him not getting the job then

There will be no one left to go to work

The city are gonna love it!🤣🤣

More medical tyranny-vote for an independent

Absolutely. Let’s pilot the scheme with 6 months in Parliament and City Hall first.

That's Parliament fucked then...

🤣🤣🤣 where did he say publish the results? ScumMedia

Start with Westminster

Only if politicians do, too

Fantastic way to alienate his Tory base

Politicians too.

This man is an idiot.

I guess Independent's not a fan of his, then 🤣

Fine, let’s start with the Cabinet first.

Maybe they could do this for all politicians as well

Why don’t they do random drug and breathe testing? It’s part of my contract of employment!

Totally and utterly intrusive. More dictatorial rules from government. Thought we live in a democracy. 🤔

Already happens in some jobs, where serious harm may result. Not sure why to would be rolled out to every job. What's the benefit? How about doing some random tax avoidance checks, and publishing them?

That'll be a way to get the Govt fired.

Sorry but I don't find you to be the right candidate for the job.

Do we really want another Tory in a postion of any kind of power?

I think Mps should also be tested

Random covid tests, if they have any?

I hope they include the Westminster cabinet members including the pm.

Ignorance at its best

Loads of firms in London would have high results

And who pays for this ? What a ridiculous idea !

Data collection for private corporations by force of government is a no.

Employers don't own staff!! What people choose to do outside work is their own business.

Start with HoC

Sure Sean, ask DomDomNo10Gollum to line up cabinetofficeuk for said Drugs Testing first, and be sure to hire Serco to carry it out...

That's him finished.

Terrible idea. Invasive and intrusive and demoralising to staff. Can't see a single London mayor candidate I want to win.

That’s intrusive. I’m sorry but that’s inappropriate and could lead to people feeling intimidated. You won’t win the mayoral election — now, there were 3. MayorofLondon sianberry SiobhanBenita SadiqKhan If the women wanted they should combine forces imho against Sadiq

Start with this guy...he has form.

They should start with the House of Commons please and state who is over the toxicity limit on alcohol and drugs

Start with the House of Commons.

michaelgove won’t like that one bit!!

LoL

can Government be included too?

O yeah that would work in the City.
