'A generation's future is at risk': PwC warns on youth unemployment
Jake Finney, an economist at PwC, said: ‘The UK youth jobs market has deteriorated sharply, the steepest decline in the G7.
'Young people account for over half the rise in unemployment since mid-2022, despite making up under a fifth of the working-age population. Young workers have inevitably felt the squeeze.
‘They are concentrated in entry -level roles, leaving them more exposed than colleagues with longer tenure.’
It is not easy to say something new about a UK Prime Minister and his Chancellor of the Exchequer who slithered into their wholly undeserved roles loudly promoting economic growth as their primary economic goal before stifling with policies obviously inimical to growth.
'Stupid' doesn't work as a complete description even though it is stupid. It has been clear from the Tony Blair years that UK governments do not see their role as being wholly defined by UK interests and the interests of UK voters. For them, that's history book stuff.

And for them any book that is not about the wonder of their Party is not worth reading.
How will Sir Jetalot respond? Fly off to somewhere warm?
These are people who think that ‘likes’ on TikTok / X / YouTube whatever, are achievements alone and are unable to see the lack of substance behind them. They also think that not being caught out in a lie is the same as telling the truth.
DJ - if I remember rightly, Tom Bower's biography of Jeremy Corbyn says that a former wife hardly ever saw Corbyn reading a book. Political leaders don't generally come across as avid readers.
dearieme - Sir Jetalot doesn't seem to like the UK at all, he'd probably prefer to spend Christmas elsewhere. He's doing his best to make many others think along the same lines too.
Chris - "They also think that not being caught out in a lie is the same as telling the truth."
That's a good point, it does seem to be a common attitude among people attracted to politics.
