Labour managed to achieve 8% unemployment before they were kicked out of office last time, looks like they are going to head for a new record of unemployment again.

Wait till they combine all the Local Authority pensions and then most likely invest them in crap schemes leaving them broke at the end of it all, see how that prospect is appealing.

Most of the forecasts are showing economic growth for the next two years, the ONS showed a 4.8% boost in overall earnings from July to September 2024. Employment rates are larger unchanged from 12 months ago, but are up in the last quarter.

However, time will tell. Remember, we predicted that Brexit was going to be an absolute sh1tshow, and look how well that's turned out.
