What is your solution to the major labour shortages that many sectors are currently suffering? Raise wages, employ locals. |

What is your solution to the major labour shortages that many sectors are currently suffering? We have 5 million on out-of-work benefits - I would like to see British employers look to getting them back into employment before giving jobs to foreign citizens. If that means higher wages, more training and more automation then so be it - relying on simply importing cheap labour is what caused a lot of our problems in the first place. |

The locals don't want the jobs available.

If he really wants a Swiss style relationship with the EU, maybe he could give us a Swiss style say on the matter ?  Well it's an argument but the Swiss with their incessant referendums have got themselves into a right pickle. Keep voting for all the benefits of their deals with the EU and then keep voting to reject all the burdens. A bit like the idiots that want all the food on a restaurant menu but think they can reject all the prices down the right hand side. And sadly referendums the world over have shown that 'no one got poor underestimating the voting public' phrase is so so true. Representative democracy is still the least worst system. |

I seem to recall that the "dole" (is there such a thing now) was stopped if someone turned down three jobs. If the Government made the DHSS work harder at denying benefits to able bodied people then these vacancies would be filled. If those turning jobs down due to low wages were faced with starvation and homelessness then they might be glad of these jobs, and if they find they can't make ends meet they could do 25 hours overtime every week.
And before the shrill lefties start stridently condemning this post they might reflect that this is what many of us have done in our early years.

#I knew that would be your excuse. Simple fact though is that there aren't enough people out there looking for entry level work - often at unsociable hours and often unpleasant. You cant automate many of those jobs. The EU workers are taking our jobs and suppressing ages was always a fantasy. It still is. We are damaging our economy while we continue that fantasy. Sooner or later it will have to be addressed but I fear dogma will make that a little way off yet.

There more Inactive then unemployed they include them in adult full time education , OAP , and them with sickness/Dissabiltys. are you saying them who recieve benefits who are on the inactive list should work like the OAPs and them on Dissibillty payments ? I think them that wish to come out of retirement and work should. and them on sickness / Disabled payments should be encouraged to find work . but under sicknote torys britain think that will hard because a one time public service employer who found /employed disabled people . Remploy I think I is none excistent now or they had a lot of there work units shut down by this Govenment |

We have 5 million on out-of-work benefits - That 5 million includes people like my sister. Suffers from MS. Is unable to move for herself, not even to go to the loo. Has carers in 4 times to clean her and (half) dress her to sit in her chair. But yeah, she is on "out of work benefits", so all she needs is a job... |

Sunak quashes talk of shift to Swiss-style Brexit, saying he would block any move requiring UK to align with EU laws,

The so called “hard brexit” only ever made coherent intellectual sense within a Libertarian “Singapore on Thames” approach that was tried so disastrously by Truss. That concept is surely dead now for many years. Both the Tories (and to a lesser extent Labour) now have to work out what to do with Brexit within a more conventional economic framework somehow trying to balance what is in the best interests of the UK economy (especially “working class” people and what “working class” people have been trained to think is in their best interests by the false promises of the Brexit campaign and the Johnson regime. The two things are very different. It will be interesting to see what compromise the end game is. Sook Ching?
That was the result of the British actions regarding Singapore.

Senior government figures are planning to put Britain on the path towards a Swiss-style relationship with the European Union. The move, intended to forge closer economic ties, is likely to infuriate hardline Conservative Brexiteers. Jeremy Hunt, the chancellor, last week signalled that Rishi Sunak’s administration intends to break from the approach adopted by Boris Johnson and remove the vast majority of trade barriers with the bloc. In private, senior government sources have suggested that pursuing frictionless trade requires moving towards a Swiss-style relationship over the next decade. However, they insist this would not extend to a return to freedom of movement. www.thetimes.co.uk/article/britain-mulls-swiss-style-ties-with-brussels-nr0f7fw2kWith pro EU globalists like Sunak and Hunt in charge it was always going to happen. Perhaps this is the reason they are loathe to upset the EU/Macron over the illegal invasion from France. I don't think you need panic just yet, it sounds like something that's been mentioned at a free thinking brainstorm rather than an outcome. Worth remembering though that Farage was an advocate of just such a Swiss deal type Brexit WE used to be in common European trade area, it was called the EEC or common market. But that wasn't good enough for unelected Euro megalomaniacs who wanted more control over elected governments. A 'Swiss type' deal is the thin end of the wedge, it will be the start of a journey that ends with the UK once more being subservient to the EU. And that is exactly what the EU are planning on, they are good at playing the long game. |

There are many people who would do jobs but can't due the total fucking ridiculous paperwork one needs. Like certificates to say you have been brainwashed on x,y, z gov diktat. The bitches don't even tell you what the job is either. They have created a modern-day slave market. |

I don't think that the economy should revolve around concerns about people committing suicide at the thought of doing a days work. If people have mental health problems they should be protected and looked after, if they are simply too idle to work they shouldn't.
