๐Ÿšจ Youth unemployment is a national failure of successive Tory and Labour governments and we must address the root causes. We can tackle one element of the problem, and every effort matters. But letโ€™s be honest: you cannot solve youth unemployment without fixing the economy. ๐Ÿ“‰ ๐Ÿข Businesses cannot create jobs and apprenticeships if they are struggling to survive, invest, and grow. โš ๏ธ We cannot keep demanding that businesses provide opportunities while failing to create the conditions that make those opportunities possible. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Fix the economy. Empower businesses. Create jobs. Give young people a future. Anything less is treating the symptoms while ignoring the disease! #YouthUnemployment #FixTheEconomy #JobsNotPromises #SupportBusiness #Apprenticeships #EconomicGrowth #YouthOpportunity #PoliticalAccountability #NEET @RobertJenrick @SuellaBraverman

Quite incredible that the Government canโ€™t say that rejoining the EU would require a referendum. The opposite would then follow, no future government that wanted to leave would require one either. Would the EU want a hokey cokey member?
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ 'Would rejoining the EU require a referendum?' - @WilfredFrost Sky's Wilfred Frost questions Labour MP Sally Jameson on the govt's plan for a better relationship with the EU, as the PM rules out rejoining the EU 'this parliament.'

Brussels Burnham wants to reopen our borders to millions of migrants. He is completely out of touch with the British people.

Andy Burnham has deceived the people of Makerfield and betrayed Britain. Only Reform UK has a real plan to protect our borders.
