Lor Jane :

well there are no jobs for young people while studying. No graduate jobs for teachers, medical students and law graduates. currently 4k unemployed teachers in Scotland. Refreshing that somebody is acknowledging unemployment.

méa ⚢ :

he needs the newborns employed! the primary bairns, employed! the retired, employed!!

Matt :

Half of Scotlands population is on benefits (this includes pensioners), which is probably the last milestone I can imagine him using, no idea where he's getting another million from lol

erin🦷 ⎕ 🪩 :

Mind you that’s 5.5 million including 1 million pensioners and 1 million children 😭

i💤y :

is he sending the kids down the mines 😭

stupot :

he ment million 25% of population are on benefits some have been since 1970s

big dan :

I get where hes coming from, as theres only 2 million full time workers in Scotland. so theres 3.5 million who arent, but god dammit he forgot kids and pensioners exist 😭😭😭

ilovehrucja :

Reform don’t worry about stats, their voters don’t care 😂

Charley :

31% of Scotland is on FULL benefits so non working

☀️🌧️Kayce🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 :

All the grannies will be getting cut off from their pip and pension credit 😭

haroonmaroon :

get them retired and children working innit

Eugene Sarazen :

Malcolm Offord’s own figures don’t say 3 million Scots are unemployed. He said 2.6m are in work and 1m are economically inactive. He then said that, after excluding students, carers, early retirees and the long-term disabled, around 500,000 working-age Scots are effectively locked out of work. So let’s debate the real worklessness figures—not invent 3 million unemployed.

Liz Liz :

Reform the biggest con this century.

Totoo :
