Jarrow Crusade
…n by 2029, we have begun rolling out youth guarantees across Great Britain. The youth guarantee gateway is now available in jobcentres. We are expanding youth hubs. We have launched the £3,000 youth jobs grant and are rolling out the jobs guarantee. Youth hubs are a crucial part of our youth guarantee. They bring together the employment skills and wider support that young people need to move into work, training or education. By expanding the network to over 360 locations across the country, more young people will be able to access personalised and wraparound support in their local community.

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,…

Seven Schools and a Missing Tax: A Survey of the Post-Neoliberal Field
…ublic investment, industrial revival, antitrust, care provision, and wage floors capitalise into location value, a field without a land instrument leaks its own achievements to the landowner. Fourth, Modern Monetary Theory is present in the field as an ingredient rather than a recipe: it is adopted as description by Geochartalism, the Politics of Care, and the chartalist wing of the Green New Deal, conceded in its operational core by the Niskanen Center, and not present in the texts we have read of the other three. Its one prescriptive element, the Job Guarantee, does not follow the descript…

Employment Support: Young People
…this House. As I have said, we are putting forward an additional £2.5 billion of investment in the youth guarantee and the growth and skills levy. We have recently announced that we are expanding the jobs guarantee to help eligible young people receiving health-related benefits. They should not be signed off and written off. Another point raised in her question is that too often in these debates, young people are attacked in a negative narrative in which they are described as “snowflakes” and “shirkers”. She is right to say that, given the chance, young people want to work, want to have a fu…

Employment Support: Young People
…part of the youth guarantee. They bring together employment and skills, with wider support that often involves housing and health advice. They are an important feature of the Dutch system, where the NEET rate is one third of ours. We are expanding the network to over 360 locations across Great Britain, and the whole idea is to get the help that a jobcentre can provide out of the jobcentre and into the community. There are also other important parts of the youth guarantee, such as hiring bonuses, an extra 300,000 work experience places and a jobs guarantee for the long-term young unemployed.

Topical Questions
Birmingham has been piloting a jobs guarantee scheme since April. An employment roundtable that I ran in Selly Oak saw lots of young people who lack confidence in their communication skills to enable them get back into work after being on universal credit for 18 months. Will the Secretary of State commit to publishing how many pilot participants are still in work once the six months is over?

Topical Questions
I am grateful to my hon. Friend; I enjoyed the visit to his constituency a few weeks ago to support young disabled people. He is right in what he says about long-term youth unemployment. That is why we have the jobs guarantee, and we will publish a full evaluation of its effects.

Employment Support: Young People
…tional £2.5 billion, as part of the youth guarantee, to create up to 500,000 opportunities to earn and learn over the next few years, and we have begun to roll this out across Great Britain. The gateway to the youth guarantee is available in jobcentres. We are expanding youth hubs, we have launched the £3,000 youth jobs grant, and we are rolling out the jobs guarantee for young people who are long-term unemployed. I recently met the first beneficiaries of the jobs guarantee at Boots headquarters in Nottingham and saw the huge difference that having a job made to the young people taking part.

A Review of Modern Monetary Theory: From Foundations to Policy Proposals
The paper traces the intellectual foundations of MMT through chartalism, the credit theory of money, Keynesian economics, and functional finance. It examines the concept of monetary sovereignty and analyses the operational relationship between government spending, taxation, public debt, central banking, interest rates, and sectoral balances. It also explores the distinction between vertical and horizontal money, the concept of fiscal space, and the extent to which real resources, productive capacity, and inflation constrain public spending.The review considers MMT's principal policy proposal…

A Proposal for Modeling Macroeconomics by Integrating Modern Monetary Theory into a Complexity Economics Framework
In this paper, we introduce a novel proposal for modeling macroeconomics that incorporatesthe findings of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) into the developing field of ComplexityEconomics (CE). MMT provides an understanding of the monetary and fiscal institutionswhich frame the behavior of economic actors. CE provides an alternative vision to conventional economics, undermining several standard assumptions, such as perfect rationality,representative agents or equilibrium.In our proposal, the State is a key driver of economic activity in its role as the monopolist ofthe currency, while each econo…

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…

Shabana Mahmood says Labour party wants to create ‘fairness in our immigration system’ – as it happened
…he Labour MP Liam Byrne still gets criticised for the note he left in the Treasury after the 2010 election to his Tory successor saying “there is no money”. The note (often wrongly remember as saying there is no money left) was a joke, written when Byrne expected to be succeeded by a Tory with whom he had a friendly relationship, but the Lib Dem David Laws got the job instead. Laws gave it George Osborne and David Cameron and they spent years quoting it as alleged proof that Gordon Brown had bankrupted the country. In his speech today John Healey used a similar line. I did not quote it earli…
