During Labour's 'watch' between 1997 and 2010, the number of households in the UK in which no one has ever held a job rocketed from 184,000 to 352,000. This means that for more than 550,000 people worklessness has become a way of life. (Source: The Office for National Statistics.)
Surely, this must end for all time the idea that Labour is 'the party of the working man'.
(How well I recall the election poster shown here.)
