๐Ÿšจ THE MIDDLE CLASS IS DISAPPEARING. HERE’S WHY.<br /><br />In today’s Britain, the idea of a stable job, a pension, and a comfortable life is no longer a guarantee — it’s a rarity. In this eye-opening documentary, we uncover how millions of working professionals, freelancers, graduates, and even skilled workers have been pushed into the uncertain world of the gig economy, zero-hours contracts, and short-term freelance work.<br /><br />๐ŸŽฅ This isn’t just an economic story — it’s a human one. One that affects YOU, your future, your family, and the entire fabric of middle-class society.<br /><br />๐Ÿ” WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS:<br />โœ… The collapse of secure, full-time employment across the UK and Europe<br />โœ… The rise of gig platforms like Uber, Deliveroo, Fiverr and TaskRabbit<br />โœ… Why pensions, sick pay and paid holidays are becoming things of the past<br />โœ… How this new economy is fuelling anxiety, burnout, and financial instability<br />โœ… The role of government policy, globalisation, and corporate lobbying<br />โœ… First-hand stories from gig workers and freelancers living on the edge<br />โœ… What major voices like The Guardian, BBC, and The Financial Times are reporting<br />โœ… What politicians like Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, and Frances O’Grady (TUC) are saying — and doing — about it<br />โœ… Ideas and solutions: Can we fix the system with UBI, stronger labour laws, or union action?<br /><br />๐Ÿง  WHY THIS MATTERS TO YOU:<br />Are you constantly juggling freelance gigs or part-time jobs just to survive?<br /><br />Do you feel like you work harder than ever, but can’t afford to save?<br /><br />Are your job benefits — pensions, maternity leave, sick pay — just a distant dream?<br /><br />You are not alone.
