Labour isn’t working…again

Thursday, September 18 2008

Chris Grayling

Chris Grayling has launched a dossier that outlines Labour’s failure to tackle unemployment.

The dossier, entitled ‘Labour isn’t working…..again’, demolishes Labour’s claim to have eradicated long-term unemployment, and points out that their boast of creating ‘record employment’ is based on migrant workers and a clever use of statistics.

Chris, the Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, said:

“When you read the small print of Government statistics, you find a very different picture where youth unemployment is rising, the number of British people in work is falling fast and tens of thousands of unemployed people are deliberately excluded from the figures.”

And he stressed that our plans to reform welfare and launch a revolution in skills and training will get people back into work.
