        @BBCBreaking Can someone explain how unemployment figures fall when the only news is of people losing their jobs?

        @JLarby Easy. Every time the Tories are in power they change the way the figures are counted. Its their standard procedure to reclassify.

        @BBCBreaking "official figures show" being the key words here. All those zero hour contacts and folk having to take on 3 jobs to survive

        @BBCBreaking Probably 70,000 of those were benefit sanctions. Handy isn't it.

        @Robbristow77 Sanctions are a wonderful thing. If you don't work, and rely on handouts. You could at least show up on time to get them.
