        @BBCBreaking Ah yes, but are they actual jobs or is it just the government redefining unemployment again?

        @BBCBreaking interesting perspective. Maybe the figures should be about 'paid full time' employment not unemployment.

        @BBCBreaking False hope on jobs is worse than no jobs at all. Like Labour the Tories are wasting hundreds of millions on pretend jobs.
