We want younger people claiming benefit in jobs…
We will make it increasingly expensive and difficult for young people to get jobs.

I see Darren Jones MP has been brought in as Keir's enforcer.
That's the same Darren Jones who compared disabled benefits to "Pocket Money", and was the whizz behind last years Budget.
