I'm going to have a good go at looking for a contract when I'm back from holiday and now that Labour are gone. Hmm, what areas should I "enhance" my CV? I think every place I've contracted is bobified now.

Someone seems to think it's the later but I don't see where the OP made that distinction?
Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

Thick because you're ignoring globalisation, the government's policy of allowing cheap labour through ICT, the fact that any job that requires you sitting at a desk and not interacting with live people can be done by a cleverer person on the other side of the world and the fact that major corps don't see IT development as a strategic policy, rightly or wrongly.
If given the above you don't adapt and moan about falling rates and disappearance of jobs you are by definition, thick, and hence deserve your fate.
HTH, but IDI.Hard Brexit now!
