I’m being royally screwed over by a 0 hours contract… How is this allowed? (UK)

I work on a zero hours contract but was originally hired in November on the idea I'd be “full time”. My manager doesn't like me and has been very passive aggressive for a while.

This is so ridiculous and unfair. That one petty manager with a god complex can ruin your livelihood for no reason. I always work hard, I'm never late, and I always go above and beyond. This is my reward. I'm only in my early twenties and I can't see a future for myself that doesn't involve the streets. How did we let society get this messed up.
