Very good to hear. Incidentally, I am astounded that @BBCNews cut away from the most important quarterly bit of PM scrutiny 10m before in ended. Especially after showing the Farage presser live and in full. Don't remember them ever doing that when Johnson - or any PM - was on.🤨

Just rewatched it to make sure. This is not what Starmer said. He said the fact the BOTH the employment rate AND the unemployment rate are up this year, suggests that more of the previously classed as "inactive" have reentered the job market, and that was a good sign. ~AA

CChris Smyth@Smyth_Chris · Jul 21

Starmer suggests its a good sign that unemployment is rising as it suggests more of the previous inactive are now looking for a job

- We inherited a broken economy plus broken public services. No gov't has inherited that combination for decades. - Yeah, but you're now attempting to break our charities. Great to see former Tory ministers discover such sudden violent passion on poverty, homelessness, etc. ~AA
