| It’s not for you to say that 20/21 FACTS are unreliable, Bob, but note that you cannot provide and data or studies to confirm your assertion that child poverty will rise under the Tories. It’s simply because you have no evidence. It’s just your sick obsession with denigrating the Tory government no matter how well they are doing to help poorer people. You conveniently forget the generous furlough scheme implemented by Rishi at the start of the pandemic. Contrary to your assertion, the FACT is that Britain’s unemployment rate has fallen as the number of people in work hit a new record high and rose past its pre-pandemic level for the first time, according to official figures. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the UK jobless rate fell to 3.8% in the three months to April from 3.9% in the previous quarter. Most economists were expecting the unemployment rate to edge up to 4%. So economists got it wrong AGAIN! I would suggest that if unemployment has fallen, child poverty will decline. Rishi and his team are on the right track and hopefully the Bank of England will support him and increase interest rates again on 22 June. Thankfully Rachel Reeves isn’t on the BOE Monetary Policy Committee! |
