@TerrySmyth4 Over 90% of the rise in employment to record levels has been in the creation of full time permanent positions. Self-employment has also risen but that is fine if chosen; the concern is where there is abuse and the Taylor Review was set up precisely to look at that. — PolitiTweet.org

@KirstenFayers1 Over 90% of the rise in employment to record levels has been in the creation of full time permanent positions. In my experience, most people I have encountered on zero hours have chosen that as it suits them - but there are abuses and we have actually legislated against them. — PolitiTweet.org

@OurSudbury @jason_noble89 Actually in latest figures average weekly earnings for employees up 3.3% compared with a year earlier. Again, please don't immediately talk down self-evidently excellent news. It's very hard to recruit locally because of such low unemployment, and that will push pay up. Positive! — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@TerrySmyth4 On the contrary, around three quarters of jobs created have been full time and permanent. Do try to avoid immediately talking down self-evidently excellent news that we should all celebrate. Unemployment not lower since 1974. Fantastic! — PolitiTweet.org

The unemployment rate is officially confirmed today as at its lowest since 1974. It has not been lower in my lifetime. That is an achievement any Government should be extremely proud of. — PolitiTweet.org

@andrew_lilico @GeorgeFreemanMP @NickBoles @SKinnock @halfon4harlowMP @LucyMPowell @kevinhollinrake @EFTA4UK With EEA variant, you get best poss trade deal with EU commensurate with independent trade policy, then move in time to get trade deals with other key blocks.

@andrew_lilico @GeorgeFreemanMP @NickBoles @SKinnock @halfon4harlowMP @LucyMPowell @kevinhollinrake @EFTA4UK WTO: immediate end to free trade on our exports to EU, and forced to slash import tariffs to zero (official HMG policy) because of MFN rules giving no more negotiation power for trade deals than in Customs Union.

@andrew_lilico @GeorgeFreemanMP @NickBoles @SKinnock @halfon4harlowMP @LucyMPowell @kevinhollinrake @EFTA4UK The acronyms are endless but what this all boils down to is whether we should prioritise free trade or theoretical control of EU immigration, which in reality is collapsing and leading to an inversely proportionate surge in non-EU immigration to fill the gap.
