Open goals......
I can’t help but think that Labour is missing an open goal when it comes to attacking the UK’s economic performance under this administration.
Apprenticeship “reforms” in 2016 have been an utter disaster, tens if not hundreds of thousands of young people have lost out on the chance to become high earning, skilled staff. What the country needs is more skilled staff, what it has is a broken system that produces far fewer than needed.
Billions has been wasted on schemes which have nothing to do with training new staff and billions more unspent because the system is awful.
Just making the system work better, or even properly, without spending a penny more would help transform economic performance.
It is an abject failure which this government has not fixed because it is obsessed with other things, the money is already there, the system just needs fixing.
Simples.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
