    People expected unemployment to be 1.2 trillion then? She must have been taught maths by her husband. Or her boss. How depressing that these people are ruining, sorry running, the economy.

    Lol! 400k allowing for a few ‘manipulations’ of the figures here and there. Remember, when you’re in power the figures can be spun anyway you want them, and as we all know nu-labour think of themselves as the masters of spin.
