Please add:
Zero Hour contracts on the up
Thousands sanctioned for no fault of their own and taken out of the system, therefore out of any set of figures (they don't exist see)
Free school meals taken away from children
Homelessness at an all time high
I could go on but what's the point? You couldn't give a toss as long as you are ok and bugger the rest. The tory mantra. |

Three Million MORE people in work than when the last Labour government were in power. I guess you would rather have Labour in power and 3 Million less people working? It is a funny old world when people would rather have more unemployed. |  |

All on low pay and have to use working tax credits.
Would you be prepared work hard for a pittance knowing that doing so it would be very difficult to make ends meet? Choosing between food or heat, not enough money to pay a utility bill or a council tax bill.
That's no life, that's work poverty and it suits the agenda of these utter bastards in power who can trump out the employment figures but go into complete denial mode when faced with facts about the large number of people in the UK who are struggling to get by yet are working full time. Over the next decade it will get worse if we carry on like we are and brexit will only exacerbate this situation. | |

No good you cherry picking my posts to reply on, cause you’ve obviously or purposely dismissed my distaste for all of our parties, my views on all them are the same, they all self serving, and full of self importance and hypocrites, May and her lot are undoubtedly the worst though, stats and figures come nowhere near the truth of the state this country’s in, look at the whole picture, NHS failing apart, infrastructure, public services, but you won’t because you are like your party just trying to cling on to things that don’t tell the whole story, keep burying your head in the sand. | |

He also misses the point that the world economies have picked up and that employment is at a high all over and therefore not the Tories action that has created it. | |

Employment at record high.
Unemployment still falling

Average earnings now back above inflation.
Minimum wage increased by above inflation since April.
Jobs for all not just the few. Keep up the good work |
If we're so feckin brilliant at everything, why is our productivity the worst in Europe, and pretty poor world-wide? |  | | |

I'd rather that people are paid a decent living wage without having to rely on tax credit top ups to get by.
Low wages and tax credits are hardly anything more than what you would get on the dole. Your quality of life is still poor and your prospects also.
But hey, you Tory kunts don't care a jot about anyone but themselves. | |

“Low wages and tax credits are hardly anything more than what you would get on the dole. Your quality of life is still poor and your prospects also.“
A form of life support leading to creeping societal paralysis. I’ve said this on here before but our people are possessed of the sort of patience that stops becoming a virtue and turns to a vice. [Post edited 18 Apr 2018 17:15]

Why not you have just proved that France and Italy's unemployement rate is twice the UKs
Why not complete the picture for the rest of the EU

Only five of the EUs 28 Countries have a lower unemployment rate than the UK. | |

That is why the Tories are increasing the minimum wage every year by more than inflation. Under labour it just about matched inflation. Still why use facts when bigotry will do. | |

Those figures for Greece, Italy and Spain are absolutely shocking. Then you have the youth unemployment stats across Southern Europe that are even worse. Entire generations with no hope. Of course it’s good things are getting slightly better but it should be so so much better. | |
