        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews Has the unemployment rate really fallen? Or did #IDS sanctions and goal post moving leave some people destitute?

        .@BBCBreaking Any chance of some statistics on under-employment and those still out of work who have been sanctioned, so off unemployment?

        @BBCBreaking was it not 7.1% last time? So the rate has gone up. How is spinning for one side 'impartial'?
