The New unemployment figures say the UK
Unemployment rate is 4 .3%.
With 2.5m long term unemployed since 2010.
And more large job loses excepted
Do you remember the 3+ record number of unemployed in the 80s .
Under thatcher .
Are we in line for another Record number of unemployment.
This is the result of Real Conservativesim.

If you can point us toward the 'real conservatism' party it would be much appreciated .
Unemployment in the UK is however a choice and with a million vacancies reported today the record numbers are easily solved by matching people to jobs available .
This would be helped greatly with a return of Job centres being the place where you get a job rather than being advised on what you can claim on the social .

Hopefully and fingers crossed, we only have six months left of Tory rule, unless there s some kind of bloodbath after the upcoming local elections.
I was interested to read yesterday of the long list of influential people who are backing Labour, including several former top Tories such as Anna Soubry. The former Bank of England governor Mark Carney has made glowing references to Rachel Reeve, the shadow chancellor.
To give but one example of how things are simply falling apart under this government, the local NHS where I live is to withdraw the Out Of Hours Doctor Service from the local hospital, and instead we will be served from a hospital 20 miles away, meaning many of our remoter moorland villages will be almost 40 miles from the Out Of Hours Doctor.
Several people have written and emailed the local Tory MP, he has not replied to anyone, he's retiring at the election and seems to have given up.
Thankfully the local Labour candidate has take up the cause, is is now fighting this proposed cut to our local NHS services.

If I tried to explain it to you I don't think you would understand, but actually this rise in unemployment is both expected and actually a result of a better form of economic management. It's to do with the rise in interest rates are causing zombie firms to go bust and relinquish their control over our production resources. Zombie firms came about by cheap borrowing of money, meaning they could set up unproductive enterprises which employed a lot of people, so you had a lot of people working but not producing any benefit to the overall economy and preventing economic growth. You can't grow a successful firm if there is no one more you can employ. Labour shortages push up the cost of labour. |

In 2022 a major oil exporter invaded its peaceful neighbour resulting in global sanctions and high oil prices of over £2 a litre.
High oil prices affect logistics.
Logistics affects food prices.
Global inflation soared and we were not immune.
Think about it.

It comes as 6,000 retail outlets have brought down the shutters since 2018, according to the British Retail Consortium. The trade association's chief executive Helen Dickinson OBE blamed the closures on "crippling" business rates and the impact of coronavirus lockdowns.

As a result, the number of company insolvencies overall is being driven to a 13-year high. Data found that for the first half of the year there were 10,717 company insolvencies – of which the construction sector accounted for a fifth (2,094 insolvencies). When analysed more closely, in just the first quarter the construction sector reached 1,048 insolvencies. This marks the highest level since the same quarter of 2012. For the second quarter, numbers reached its highest since Q3 of 2009. |

Pub closures are due to excessively high taxation on beer, and excessively high rent by profiteering pubco's.
Not Brexit.
Additionally they've been impacted by higher logistics costs because of the war.
Higher energy bills because of the war and fewer student aged drinkers because, due to so many being funneled into uni to get a worthless degree, a lot can't afford it.
Use your grey matter.

The old trees die off and their constituents decay and return to the soil to provide fertile ground for the new trees to grow. It is a continual process, and I know for a fact Wilko was very poorly managed. Read the story and I think you will see how overall it is better they went to the wall. Their properties will go back on the market and increase supply of properties which in turn will lower the rental costs and make it easier for better firms to grow. So economically speaking you should not support the failures but let them go bust sooner rather than later when they have made even bigger losses. The government does not seem to understand market regulation. Protectionism will bite you eventually. It is a destructive policy. |

Also a lesser known fact is unbelievable regulation. A place close to me which puts on live entertainment has the licence conditions printed out on the door and they go on for many pages with every slightest thing to do with the way the business operates decided by the stupid cows at the council, as per those who have never managed a real business in their lives. |
