Worth keeping on about this. During the referendum Osborne and the Treasury said unemployment would rise by 500,000 in the immediate aftermath of a Leave vote. Today’s new figures:
- Unemployment fell 57,000 between April and June 2017
- 157,000 fewer than for a year earlier
- Unemployment rate is 4.4%
- Down from 4.9% for a year earlier
- The lowest since 1975
It was a big fat fib…
