        It helps when you've adjusted who is classed as unemployed. Plus all the zero hour contracts. I reckon it should be twice the​ figure stated

        I remember when we got 2 unemployment stats. The actual unemployment rate, and the "seasonally adjusted (rigged) rate. 1980s I think.

        Why no report on Labour's speech yesterday. Bad for democracy and the UK. BBC do your job and give equal reporting to Opposition too.

        As expected consequence of brexit, inflation will directly start hitting those in the lower income brackets.

        Blaming Brexit for absolutely everything. Let's remember that more people are in employment now than here has ever been.

        Have you ever studied economics? Inflation we will be seeing is a direct impact of the drop in spending power of £. Not about a blame game

        scaremongering. Inflation is where it should be give or take, and it doesn't change the fact that the employment rate has never been higher.

        Inflation should be at around 2%. For someone who studied economics, you don't know much.
