No 10: Hegseth ‘wrong’ to say most non-US Nato soldiers didn’t fight in Afghanistan – as it happened
…ion an expert like Prof Fonagy rather than a Blairite former minister, you get a far more coherent analysis of the issues affecting young people and their mental health … The Green party has a proper jobs guarantee for young people – real jobs, with real training and rights at work. It would be funded by those who can afford to contribute, not by cutting support for those least able to cope. During defence questions, Edward Leigh, the Conservative MP and father of the Commons, asked Wes Streeting about the Diego Garcia military base on the Chagos Islands. Given that it was “to all intents an…

Minns accused of bypassing high court ruling with laws to allow NSW mine to increase coal production by 32%
…pany, it’s become apparent that there are 400 jobs on the line that will go before Christmas without this intervention,” Minns said on Monday. He said if the bill passed, MACH Energy had agreed to a “jobs guarantee” to ensure that the current permanent workforce was retained until 2032. The NSW Greens climate spokesperson and environmental lawyer Sue Higginson said: “This is an incredible new low for the Minns Labor government, bypassing the planning process and the law as laid down by the high court of Australia. “One thing is clear, under Labor the coal mining giants are writing the laws,…

Greens would nationalise Thames and SE Water without paying compensation, says deputy leader – as it happened
…we need to distinguish between legitimate political argument from the denigration of whole communities. Ali says democracy “means very little without economic security” and launches into announcing a job guarantee for young people, if the Greens were to be in power. There are 1 million young people in the UK – roughly one in every seven British people aged 16-24- who are categorised as a Neet (not in education, employment or training). He notes this crisis, and says current policies – threatening to withold or cut welfare payments like universal credit if people don’t accept short-term work…

As it happened: Pat McFadden tells Labour activists they should not defend benefits system ‘status quo’ because it ‘writes off’ claimants
…d expessed doubts about the plan in the past. Again, Burnham gave a non-committal answer. Kuenssberg tried a final time and got the same reply. Q: Will you tell us something you are willing to cut to balance the books? Burnham said, if people wait unti his speech on Tuesday, they will see he is “prepared to take those type of decisions because I won’t do what the previous Conservative government did and take risks with the economy”. He said the fundamentals of the economy were moving in the right direction before the Iran war started. And he said John Healey, the chancellor, was clear about…

Changing UK benefits for young people a ‘moral crusade’, says minister
…assessment process for disability benefits that is likely to require new legislation. It will also focus particularly on how to support younger people into jobs and training, building on the current “jobs guarantee” that funds employment placements for under-25s for six months, with disabled young people given fast-track access. Officials have been looking to see whether elements of other countries’ benefit systems can be borrowed, such as the Netherlands, where youth hubs tackle unemployment, and Denmark, which restricts access to the country’s “disability pension” for the under-40s, who in…

How Labour could solve the youth jobs crisis
…always first out of the door. So what should Labour do? Not pay employers £3,000 to hire someone that the market won’t touch (an admission that demand is absent), but become the employer directly. A job guarantee, publicly funded and locally administered, would offer anyone a job at a living wage doing socially useful work. It expands in downturns and shrinks in booms, stabilising wages precisely when the economy needs it. It is not welfare. It is work. As a currency issuer, the UK is not constrained like a household. The question is never “can we afford it?”, but “do we have the real resou…

UK defence contractors to offer 40,000 apprenticeships, placements and jobs
…report on Neets. Milburn has underlined the importance of work experience in preparing young people for a job, and opening their eyes to potential careers. He said the defence pledge “shows what is possible when employers step up.” “Defence is one of our great industries – it has both the scale and the opportunity to give young people the experience, skills and confidence they need to build a career,” he added. Labour is already rolling out a Jobs Guarantee scheme for 18- to 24-year-olds who have been out of work for at least 18 months – with the promise of a taxpayer-funded work placement.

…to move back into learning or earning. He added that the review by former government minister Alan Milburn on youth unemployment must be a “turning point” for the support offered to young people. The jobs guarantee scheme is a new government programme which has promised to create 90,000 fully funded jobs by 2029, a key part of the government’s £2.5bn drive to tackle high youth unemployment. The first young people have started their jobs under the initiative. It offers a direct route into work for all 18– 24-year-olds who have been claiming universal credit and looking for work for 18 months.…

It’s all work, work, work this morning, with the government sounding a triumphant note over its jobs guarantee scheme to get young people into work, while the prime minister is due to visit Wales to speak to workers and apprentices.

Paid employment can boost confidence and wellbeing, says Pat McFadden as jobs guarantee scheme gets under way Work must be “part of the answer” to the mental health crisis among young people, the work and pensions secretary, Pat McFadden, has said as he met some of the first beneficiaries of Labour’s youth jobs guarantee scheme.

Cooling UK labour market ‘questions need’ for Bank of England rate hikes; grocery inflation slows to two-year low – as it happened
…No young person benefits from a race to the bottom – they deserve good, secure employment like anyone else. It’s time for the government to double down on its plans to make work pay, expand the youth jobs guarantee, and stamp out exploitative zero-hours contracts once and for all. The data showed UK wage growth, excluding bonuses, in the private sector slowed to 2.8% – the weakest growth rate since October 2020. Pay growth in the public sector accelerated to 6.1%, reflecting the payment of NHS staff pay rises earlier in 2026 compared to 2025, which distorts the figure. Jake Finney, a senior…
