        If they could find job why were they on benefits, they dont have the right to live taxpayers.

        What he means is, people are no longer considered unemployed (in the stats) if they are not on benefits (sanctioned or terminated)

        Clearly there is a reason they don't need benefits though as in they are fit to work. Nothing comes free in life

        Usually they want to work but can't find work and are sanctioned for being late to sign on or not applying to jobs unqualified for. Petty.

        If Lab had sense they would set up stalls outside benefit offices & job centers. Get these folk engaged, informed & registered to vote.

        Not sure what ur on about. Most welfare goes on pensions & folk IN WORK. Asking top 5% for a little extra is only fair. They wont notice it.

        Numbers are ONS, not BBC's? Take it up with them if you don't like it.

        It's very difficult to argue with the ONS, too. They're extremely thorough.

        Ironically the same office that Leavers use to quote immigration figures 🐒 When they quote unemployment figures they're wrong of course..

        The extreme left and extreme right will always try to perform mental gymnastics to debunk any figures they don't like, regardless of facts.

        Agreed. Bizarre similarity between left & right dismissing facts (& blaming the BBC 🐒) to suit.

        Im not disputing the numbers, my comment relates to the Tory positive/Labour negative bias spin that is prevalent at the BBC.

        They're actually being relatively balanced right now. I've just looked at the live report and it has two 1/2
