Fascinating visit to the Netherlands. Lowest Neet rate in Europe. Youth inactivity a “last resort”.
We are bringing in hiring subsidies and more work experience.
And next step - a new generation of youth hubs in every community offering employment and mental health support.
Hi @MelJStride you seem to be suffering memory loss again.
Under the Tories, the UK’s debt to GDP ratio went up by half. Before you blame COVID, roughly two thirds of that rise happened *before* the Pandemic.
By contrast, this Gov’t has the fastest deficit reduction programme in the G7.
If you want look for someone to blame for the U.K. debt, I suggest you find a mirror
Imagine applying for a job without having any idea what it entailed. That's exactly what dozens of Reform candidates have done. They don’t have a clue. And they think you won’t notice.
Reform are taking you for fools. Don't let them.
Thank you to Camden Boxpark for hosting our Youth Guarantee Jobs Fair this morning.
Wide selection of employers. Lots of vacancies and opportunities available. All about giving young people a better chance in life.
Our support for Ukraine is ironclad.
We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes. Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security.
Slava Ukraini.

I’m today building on Alan Milburn’s report by announcing former M&S and Morrisons chief exec Marc Bolland will turbo charge our #YouthGuarantee offer when it rolls out next month - because the best way to tackle the welfare bill is to get young people into work
Maybe you can use the opportunity to explain to voters why you pocketed £5m from a donor & failed to declare it. Or why you want to replace the NHS. Or maybe why you’re fielding a candidate who’s utterly unfit to be an MP. So much to talk about….
Some countries have high rates of youth inactivity.
The Netherlands' rate is about one third of ours.
I'm going there shortly to look at what they do.

Appalled there has been yet another antisemitic incident at Beis Gavriel and I’m glad an arrest has been made. I have spoken with the shul and am liaising intensively with the Police
Great article from @ChrisWebbMP. Chris has done fantastic work promoting employment and opportunity in Blackpool. His jobs fair is among the best of its kind in the country. Pleased to work with him on this agenda. telegraph.co.uk/business/202…
I commissioned Alan Milburn’s work because more opportunity for young people should be a national cause.
We have begun with the Youth Guarantee. This powerful report shows we need to do all we can to put work and opportunity at the heart of what we do. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy02…
