Rachel Reeves is set to announce that tens of thousands of out-of-work young people could be stripped of their benefits if they refuse to take a job.
The Chancellor will pledge to ‘abolish’ long-term youth unemployment by securing paid employment for those aged 18 to 21 who have been on Universal Credit for 18 months without earning or learning.
Those eligible will be given support to take advantage of available opportunities. Still, those who refuse to take an offer without a good reason could face a sanction – including losing their benefits.
The government will subsidise the jobs available under the ‘Youth Guarantee’, meaning the scheme is likely to cost the Treasury. It is thought that big retailers will be appealed to for help.
Rachel Reeves is set to outline the plan in her keynote address to the Labour Party conference in Liverpool today.
People don’t want to work, and it’s not just the young! So, we Brits work our behinds off, and migrants come to this country and get everything they want, and they don’t have to work for it. Where is the justice in that?
Come to that, why should taxpayers finance MPs’ second houses and utilities?
Imagine if an MP had to get a job outside of government, cleaning dishes and scrubbing toilets. No, I can’t either; they would be useless!
Let’s put it another way, should MPs lose their seats if they fail to adhere to their party’s manifesto, of course they should, but they won’t because it’s one rule for us and another rule for them because they are egotistical, greedy taskmasters.
And perhaps with all the ongoing job losses, Rachel from accounting could tell us where all the magic jobs are?

My vision on life is pretty broad, therefore I like to address specific subjects that intrigue me. Therefore I really appreciate the world of politics, though I have no actual views on who I will vote for, that I will not tell you, so please do not ask!
I am like an observation station when it comes to writing, and I simply take the news and make it my own. I have no expectations, I simply love to write, and I know this seems really odd, but I don't get paid for it, I really like what I do and since I am never under any pressure, I constantly find that I write much better, rather than being blanketed under masses of paperwork and articles that I am on a deadline to complete.
The chances are, that whilst all other journalists are out there, ripping their hair out, attempting to get their articles completed, I'm simply rambling along at my convenience creating my perfect piece.
I guess it must look pretty unpleasant to some of you that I work for nothing, perhaps even brutal. Perhaps I have an obvious disregard for authority, I have no idea, but I would sooner be working for myself, than under somebody else, excuse the pun!
Small I maybe, but substantial I will become, eventually.
My desk is the most chaotic mess, though surprisingly I know where everything is, and I think that I would be quite unsuited for a desk job.
My views on matters vary and I am extremely open-minded to the stuff that I write about, but what I write about is the truth and getting it out there, because the people must be acquainted. Though I am quite entertained by what goes on in the world.
My spotlight is mostly to do with politics, though I do write other material as well, but it's essentially politics that I am involved in, and I tend to concentrate my attention on that, however, information is essential. If you have information the possibilities are endless because you are only limited by your own imagination...
