I noticed he continued with this daft notion, even when Marr gave him the opportunity to take it back.

he said "There are no unemployed people" but he really meant "There are no unemployed shorthand typists"? Such an easy slip of the tongue to make. I do it all the time when I'm talking about shorthand typists. Sort of like when Boris referred to black people as "flag-waving piccaninnies " he meant "flag-waving shorthand typists". And that Tory MP, forget her...

Apparently Hammond is retreating, as fast as his little legs will allow him, for his earlier, disastrous interview :::
In a later interview with ITV's Robert Peston, the chancellor said: "Of course I didn't mean that [there is no unemployment]...
"The point I was making is previous waves of technological change have not resulted in millions of people being long-term unemployed."
So why didn't he say that in the first place ?

Prudie....it was obvious that he didn't mean that we don't have any unemployment. But Marr gave him an opportunity to correct or retract, but he still kept digging.
He is the Chancellor and you would have thought someone of that calibre wouldn't make such obvious mistakes. Instead, this will now held against him for some considerable time to come.

He is at least on the right lines

It is possible that anyone who really wants a job now has one. So it may be true that there are very few people actively seeking work.
I have been telling TTT for a while that his supposed army of WWS has effectively ceased to exist, not that it has any discernible effect.

Always a bad sign when the second sentence contradicts the first one:
// There are no unemployed people. We are concentrating getting them back into work. //
Not very encouraging. This is the man that the Conservatives are pinning their hopes on reviving the fortunes of the party with his budget. Yet he spins a lie and then disagrees with himself in his next breath.
And he is suposed to be one of the bighter ones.

Problem with the present Tory Party is , T/M
called a General Election , which cost quite a few Tories their seats and gave Jeremy Corbyn a very good boost and caused resentment amongst Conservative members that transformed the Cons from the Nasty party to the Nasty to each other party .They can not get their own house in order , so how can they Govern ?.

That was perfectly clear to anyone who isn't an idiot.
