Rachel Reeves MP, Labour’s Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, commenting on warnings from The Prince’s Trust on youth unemployment, said:

“With still almost a million young people out of work, this out-of-touch and incompetent Government is letting down a whole generation. Leaving young people on the dole for years on end is unacceptable and unaffordable. Labour would guarantee a job for every young person unemployed for a year - a job they would have to take.“
