“That’s a million young reasons why Cameron and Osborne are wrong”
Youth unemployment nationally has now reached 991,000, and Labour Lead Councillor for Education & Children’s Services John Ennis says that figure alone shows that the policies David Cameron and George Osborne put in place after the election have failed.
“We have just had all those complacent speeches at Tory Party Conference,” says Cllr. Ennis, “and this week we have the worst youth unemployment since the last Tory recession almost 20 years ago. A million young people out of work, more than there ever were under Labour, and yet George Osborne is sticking obstinately to Plan A, the plan that’s hurting but isn’t working. There are now a million young people telling him he’s wrong, and he needs to listen.”
According to my basic maths Cameron and Osborne can only be held responsible for the increase in youth unemployment since they took over.
