What an utter oligarch clown show. No wonder the UK’s a sclerocracy.

[@josephedwards4325]

As James O Brien pointed out, (in regards to hospitals and schools) populations grow year on year. So saying there are more people in employment (or in hospitals or classrooms) is not saying anything more meaningful than just counting. Unemployment is always "low" by comparison, since, unless we're in a deep depression, unemployment is ALWAYS lower than employment.

[@MindSurf248]

Also ask them what type of employment... zero hours contracts? Average wage left fallen and wounded on the ground as inflation tears away into the distance. More people in food banks, more people on in work benefits. Whilst houses become even less affordable, and health care enters free fall. His own party doesn't even agree with his assessment of the economy. And the thing is that the people he is saying this to know it's BS because they can see themselves getting worse off year in year for the last decade.

Rarely do they directly address any real concerns presented by the opposition and instead just talk past each other with rehearsed puns and insults while the rest of them jeer, nothing seems to be achieved at the end of it, and as an observer I feel no more enlightened for having watched what looks like a complete circus.
