That is a lot of people that aren't appearing on the 'official' figures.

Feel free to air your questions and concerns!

Sorry Lex, I don't trust the BBC and today's figures raise rather a lot of questions to my mind. I'm simply not seeing any improvement with my own eyes.

I know they have an axe to grind, but I think I'm in broad agreement with them

The key word here is [i]claiming[/i]. Job-centres are doing all they can to move people around, even to sanction them. many people have been forced to take zero hours contracts, which also stops them claiming JSA.

Sorry, I trust nothing that Camoron or his lying cabinet say. (And I would believe Miliband either!) What I will believe though is my own eyes, and I see very little that convinces me we are out of the woods yet.

More good news!

Nowhere near the edge of the woods yet, but things are slowly going in the right direction.

Anyone who thinks we're out of the woods yet needs their head examining!

Good luck to Brose, but I'll bet it'll be very short term.
