Pat McFadden is on ##BBCLauraK saying Labour will spend £800 million on 900,000 unemployes people to provide them with....
"... advice"
"Work experience and training to 300,000 of them and a subsidised job offer for 55,000 long term unemployed (18 months or more)"
He says this has "a high success rate"
- how does he know this? 🤔
@beemoh bout right
There is a big problem !!!
The most recent official estimate for job vacancies in the UK is 723,000 for the August to October 2025 period, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS)
But McFadden says there are 900,000 young people unemployed
And
Based on the latest data for July to September 2025, there were approximately 1.79 million unemployed people aged 16 and over in the UK, representing an unemployment rate of 5%
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH JOBS FOR PEOPLE

Morning, hope you're well.
Q: What are your selection criteria for publishing other authors?
Good morning to you too (well, it's lunch time here)!
First, I look at the story - is it something I'm comfortable with, that I would like to publish? Can I do it justice?
Second, I am very upfront with my authors about what I can and can't deliver. I don't buy stories but work on a shared royalties program. I take care of getting the story edited and out via the agreed channels. But my marketing budget is very small.
Not everyone agrees to that.

VVD is geen garantie meer voor stabiel en betrouwbaar bestuur, zo is gebleken. En snapt nu zelfs niet waarom regeringsdeelname niet vanzelfsprekend is? Dat toont ook nog eens extreme hardleersheid.

Twee oude witte mannen die pleiten voor een samenwerking op basis van vertrouwen MET DE VVD, die --- zeker de afgelopen jaren --- duidelijk uitgaat van een mensbeeld op basis van wantrouwen en zoek het lekker zelf uit.
En natuurlijk geen enkele scherpe vraag over deze "denkfout", nee Joost Vullings noemt zonder blikken of blozen JA21 en Gl/PvdA "de vleugels".
@Nienkez
Je zegt "is", en zeker, er is bijzonder rechts gestemd...maar er zijn genoeg zetels voor een centrum links meerderheidskabinet.
Daarbij geloven volgens mij veel PVV stemmers dat de PVV opkomt voor de armeren en economisch links zou zijn; zoals Wilders liegt in zn program, want hij stemt altijd rechts van de VVD.
Het verhaaltje dat Nederland zo rechts zou zijn, en GroenLinks de PvdA heeft overgenomen en geradicaliseerd is, wordt verkondigd door de VVD en ons keder op keder, blind herhalend door de strot gedrukt door de media.
@janneke Ja die zijn er, maar het gaat om de vraag of zo'n kabinet ook nog concrete maatregelen erdoor kan krijgen in de huidige Tweede Kamer. Ik vond dit artikel informatief. (Ook al stond er niet in wat ik liever had willen horen). @Nienkez fed.brid.gy/r/bsky.app/profile…

Uh, I didn’t see this coming:
Someone uses AI to create an image of a damaged bridge, and posts it on social media.
Rail operators have to stop their trains until someone can go out and check on bridge, confirming that it’s perfectly fine.

I bought this bike nestobikes.com/products/vacanz… for ¥40,000 on Rakuten Ichiba (Bic Camera shop). It will be delivered in January. My goal is to get to the office door-to-door as quickly as possible. I should be able to do it in 30–40 minutes.
If it rains or conditions are bad, I’ll just take the train for now. Later on, I’ll see if I can gear up to ride in the rain as well.
Here's an alt-text description of the image:
A side view of a light beige road bike on a white background. The bike has two black tires with silver spokes, and a black seat. The frame is a light beige color with small, colorful geometric designs near the head tube. A black handlebar and stem connect to the frame, and a silver water bottle cage is attached to the frame. The text "NESTO" is visible on the top tube, and "Voyage" is printed on the down tube.
