"We Treat Unemployed People So BADLY!" Former Govt Economist Reacts To UK Unemployment Rates Rising

- TalkTV's Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by Jonathan Portes, former Government Chief Economist, who says the Government treats unemployed people badly and therefore force people into claiming benefits.
New statistics show unemployment rose and wage growth slowed in the three months to January as the UK labour market showed signs of weakness.
According to the Office for National Statistics. the unemployment rate rose to 3.9% in January from 3.8% in December while annual average wages growth including bonuses fell to 5.6% from 5.8% in the previous month.
Economists had expected unemployment to remain flat and pay growth to slow to a more modest 5.7%, while pay without bonuses also moved lower to 6.1% from 6.2% over the same three-month period.

Migrants on benefits would surely be a part of that
Over 70% of them permanently on benefits. It’s not sustainable
AHUGE PART I AM SHURE!
And if you keep on banging up the retirement age you will find a lot more people becoming 'sick' !
It’s healthy to work….say the people with comfortable salaries doing desk work….rather than labouring or customer service……ok sure
Right? Let's get Julia to do 3 months in a call centre/retail store doing customer service and get her to come back and tell us if she still feels the same. Many of these jobs (which is predominately done by young people aka the 18-24yo's she keeps harping on about) cause people to suffer severe mental health issues because the general public is fucking vile to them, day in, day out and they're getting paid minimum wage to take the abuse. Additionally, they're often getting jerked around with shifts and as such can't necessarily take other jobs as they don't know when they'll be working or how much money they'll actually make that month.
She has absolutely zero idea about the real world yet harps on like she's some fucking messiah. Julia does not speak for the people.
All the privileged lucky people coming up with all manner of compulsory stuff for the less fortunate to do...
If you can do your job in high heels and a dress, a suit and/or make up it's not work it's a lifestyle you get paid for. Nobody wants to hear what you think thank you very much.
Very true. They blame people to be lazy but majority of people aren’t. The benefits doesn’t cover everything. My benefit only give me max £300 a month which can’t even pay my utilities bill and I work full time but still count as unemploy because I’m below 1.2k
Tv and reading is healthy..
This woman's clueless 😂
Portes is a full-on liberal-leftist academic - so perfect to have been an advisor to British Governments of the past 20 years. SO long as we have hundreds of thousands of Foreigners coming here and not working, British Natives will think "If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me".
Actually, foreigners are more likely to be in work !!!!!
If we allow millions more in who don't want to work and only want to scrounge from the country, then the unemployment figures will go up.
It's got nothing to with immigration. And everything to do with decades of Zionist Neo Liberal WEF Globalists government polices. Having a financialised economy, a fiat one, money printing with no back up, instead of one of Manufacturing and production. It's all by design, the WEF Davos great reset agenda 21-30.
Bingo!
It won't ,because there are loads of vacancies !!!
@@garyh1572 vacancies the British people can fill who have been unemployed for years.
We don't need millions from other countries when we have our own unemployed.
@@hellsbells7271 It still won't be enough if you made all unemployed people work !!! Industry needs people !!!!
She is blind to reality - easy to have opinions from her privileged place in society. Open your eye Julia, see the working poor who have no hope for a future AT ALL.
In my humble opinion the working poor should be the very first to receive help. But junkies who just couldn't be bothered or just those thst are bone idle Shouldent get a cenn3
The vastly overpopulated United Kingdom is in such a serious state of decline and decay in so many different areas and this mass invasion of immigrants is contributing massively to the myriad of problems we as a nation are now confronted with.
Ex treasury official, the treasury that insists on open borders.
I've a good friend who cannot maintain regular work. Long story, he has one lung and various physical impediments. Despite his obvious issues, the pressure he is subjected to, to receive benefits he can barely survive on, is disgusting. He had worked as a bus driver and volunteered working with autistic adults until ill health took over. It's no wonder so many people take themselves out.
The point you may be missing is that if there weren't so many shysters taking the same benefits your friend so desperately needs, it wouldn't NEED to be like that. Like the blue badge thing, either the owner can scarcely walk, or they are the healthiest richest person you will see. No, they don't have a "hidden" disability ffs. They just played the system because they are shameless. How to have welfare in a shameless society? I dunno.
@@MarkJones-gt2qd how many shysters are there? My friend is treated as one and he worked and paid tax from 16 - 57.
@@wolfhugs2221 Probably 20% if the 80:20 rule is true.

I am disabled myself and out of work. I would love to work. But I cannot work due to my issues. Plus, there's lack of support with ppl with disabilities. Plus, when you return to work you don't get the proper help alot of the times. I understand some ppl on benefits take the mick but not everyone is a scrounger.
There are heaps of support for disabilities, the state cant do everything for everybody, I am way poorer because of disability but boy am I grateful for the help I receive.
@user-fu4iw5dx3f hi there. 👋 there maybe some support for certain ppl with disabilities in the UK. But not everyone can access these services, sadly. And some disabled only receive very minimal support as a disabled person if they do get it. Yes, there maybe services out there but they aren't always that great or easy to access, sadly. When I've tried to access services in my area, it has been crap or very minimal level of support or not that great quality. Plus, you have to jump through loads of hoops to get these services. I appreciate you have felt lucky you have good support, so I appreciate that you've had a good experience. But not everyone has had a good experience with getting the proper help as a disabled. But thanks for your comment. Xx ❤️
The problem is the nhs. Dont blame sick people for being sick.
The problem is bureaucracy. My husband is 64 & struggling but keeping going working as a window cleaner. We pay all our due taxes & we have been getting £133 a month in tax credit. They switched us to universal credit & now my hubby has to take 2 days a month off work to see his work coach & go through his outgoings & income & fill in his online journal to recieve the £133 a month. It'll cost him more in time off work, petrol money & travelling time to be able to claim the £133 a month so we couldn't afford to claim it anymore. £133 doesn't sound like a lot to lose but it is to us, we will struggle now. Work doesn't pay when they're penalising the workers & costing them money to claim a bit of money they're entitled too. We've both paid taxes all our lives & we get treat like thus when we do need a bit of help at the end of our working life. It's a ridiculous system when you attack the elderly working 😢
It can all be done online? You normally only need to see a work coach if you're looking for work or out of work.
Window cleaners deal with a lot of cash so the cynical side of me is assuming he isn't declaring an income or perhaps only a little?
I wouldn't blame you both if you was tbh.
You need to learn a foreign language and rock up at your local benefits office.
@@DVL83no you can’t. I’m in a similar situation but more than twice a month. They have to see me every 2 weeks in person plus all sort of random events. I have to use my weekend to cover the day lost.
@@DVL83the reason of why they need see us constantly is they said if you can’t afford your bills and claim benefits you need to look for a better job even though you’re already working full time. So yeah, work full time but still need to apply huge amount of jobs to fulfil the requirements of wnp .
@@DVL83 my husband collects ALL his money through bank transfer. Not even window cleaners deal in cash anymore. Nobody has cash to pay him.
I had quit working from mental health, walked out my own business, still continued to work solid for another year elsewhere so 5 years not even a week off in that time. There is zero help for mental health. I've worked since I was 14. I actually want to work. I've been in circles past year with various mental health places including the nhs all tell me they can't help me. Whole thing is a shitshow and country is fucked as far as I'm concerned, all started with lockdowns and the pressure with my business for me. I refused to stop working the doctor wanted me to stop. When I did cave and accept I was in a mental health crisis, I've had nothing but trouble and my mental health has got worse, barely leave the house, can barely pay the bills. If i could of got some mental health help via services out there when i was working and begging the doctor for therapy (put on antidepressants no therapy) I'd probably still be in work. Following doctors orders I'm in worse place.
I'm wishing you all the best Pixie, sorry you're going through such a traumatic time.
Try to exercise and eat as well as you can to help improve your mental state.
There never has been any help for mental health because the individual has more chance of solving it than any doctor or therapist could, self help is the only cure and always will be.
@@user-fu4iw5dx3f I completely agree with you, everyone has their own circumstances. I have had quite a few assessments now, and where I was doing my own thing and helping myself, going back and bringing up old stuff stressed me out more and I felt set me back a few steps. I'm trying get myself well enough to get back out there.
@@andymeek Thankyou :)
It is a joke that Sunak wants to stop benefits and provide treatment and talk therapists. They don’t work and they do not offer any decent mental health care now.
People who have diagnosed or undiagnosed autistic , mostly can’t work , where is the support. Also people who may have mental health issues , dyspraxia, dyslexia, ADHD etc diagnosed or undiagnosed, high unemployment.
Forcing people who have degrees with huge debts to take any jobs , ridiculous.
Completely wrong Julia, "plenty of jobs " do you have any understanding of public transport ? how do you get to these plentiful jobs ? Plus majority are now part time, which means you will still be a benefit claimant. Could you survive on single persons benefit ? Just over £80 per week( after tax and NI deductions), minus rent, council tax, fuel, and food if you're lucky , do you think people dont want jobs ? After 42 years of work, paying tax and NI I can no longer work, too young for state pension now on poverty line "disability" benefit, and still paying tax and NI. Do you want me and others like me to be forced into work ? Now State Pension is also counted as a benefit, why do you think per centages have gone up ? More concerning is Sunak wanting to cut disability benefits, in order to scrap NI, what happens to State pension then ?
I hate it when people like Julia Hartley-Brewer, who is obviously well educated and in a well paid media job, talk about the unemployed. Maybe she would like to take work on a zero-hours contract for instance.
I find it hilarious she thinks she is working. Sitting all day spouting tripe is not work.
She wouldn't last a day in the quarry I work at.
Julia has never heard of the working poor! 🤬
The biggest problem in this country is the bureaucracy and red tape trying to get any decent job, it is just ridiculous there is no investment in employees through training everything needs qualifications or some sort of skills card or certification, that comes at major expense of the jobseeker then your challenged about having enough experience ! which basically just leaves you zero hour contract work or agency work at minimum wage where your basically just treated like a dog at their convenience. What a wonderful environment we live in I mean would it really be that bad for our government to invest in training grants for Adults so that they could actually get jobs that they want to do as it’s not as if they wouldn’t get a return on their investment is it with high tax environment we have. Perhaps they could consider doing something for their own country for a change instead of handing out money all over the world bank rolling wars.
People on benefits do better than people working full time for minimum wage
Do we?
I'm not working at the moment, and I've been treated very well. Far better than many other countries, and far better than I would have been in this country years ago.
I'm lucky to live in a country with a robust system of benefits. Admittedly, I am claiming a sickness benefit, but it is very helpful.
Well Sunak - the Conservative Party are stopping benefits and changing to a voucher system if you’re lucky. Vote labour if you want to keep your benefits
It’s is a crap system, lots of people are actually scared to come off benefits and get a job. We need to have a bit more flexibility with people coming off benefits especially long term to get a job, perhaps something like a 3 month amnesty where their benefits will not be affected whatever happens, this would give employers flexibility as well. The system is not working at the moment and people can just sit on them no questions asked, but a lot of it is where they are scared to go back to work. If I didn’t know better a lot of politicians especially Tories like to have a lot of people in benefits so they are subservient, and it suits their needs to grow the population and keep importing labour from abroad.
Let’s get labour in so we can go back to the good old days when it payed to be on benefits rather than working for a living.I’ve worked all my life since I left school,now retired and I’m knackered ,I wouldn’t recommend that to anyone,going to work everyday is a bummer
I HAVE WORKED HARD MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE ....... I DID NOT CLAIM BENEFITS UNTILL I WAS PUT OUT OF WORK PERMANENTLY DUE TO A TUMOUR IN MY BRAIN ......... EVEN THEN I WAITED UNTIL MY REDUNDANCY RAN OUT ....... SHOULD I FEEL GUILTY?
Lol so many people think the way to fix this is through punishment good luck with that.
millionaire television host tells people they should just go get a job. great idea apart from there aren't lots of cushy jobs chatting away on screen for everyone.
How naive is this bloke? Amazing how gullible these fools are.
i do not agree with plenty of job. i really do not like to get benefit but no way bez i am so tired and fedup by looking for job last 5 years even i have very good qualification. it some mysterious why we could not. so many jobs hiring from out side but they are not ready to take UK citizen
The man is right, people on Benefits are treated differently and discriminated,the woman is a fine example of that,
Its a nonsense that anyone who wants to can get a job. Its not like oh there's ten jobs there's ten people "boom!" sorted. Not only are people not just standard cogs that can fit into a standard job, people have transport issues, important caring commitments that restrict what they can do and how flexible they can be and a myriad other factors. And while it is often true that working is good for people this is not invariably the case depending on the person and the job. Unfortunately in this particular case I feel that the interviewer was shutting up someone who clearly had interesting things to say and knows his stuff.Shame!
I agree. My son applies for about 5 jobs a day and does not get replies. Even for warehouse work. His CV has been professionally done.
Sign up with any many agencies he can, there will soon be something come up even if it temporary, that’s how I started, work hard and permanent and good jobs come up
The benefits system needs overhauling. There should be a limit to how long someone can be on benefits based on what they have contributed to the system. The only exception should be people who are incapable of any form of work.
Unemploy or work without registration? I personally know some people who are working full time but receiving salary in cash so they don’t need to pay tax and NI. I’m working full time but under 1.2k so the wnp said I’m unemploy as well. 😅
Increase benefits? That'll only push more people onto the dole, pretty soon work won't pay.
It is not true lots of jobs available.
@@janetmalcolm6191 I'm aware jobs are available but for the lower paid sector of society increasing benefits will make them worse of by working that was my point
Well jobs don't pay at all now. This Govt as soon as things go a bit bad for them here we go again. The benefit thing comes up again! Benefit is very low. Been like that since the old system went. It wasn't really ok then.The 5 weeks wait is a disgrace. No wonder people are depressed never knowing what the Govt going to come out with next. Everything bad when income is insecure. Before anyone moans people need benefits to get them by if not got a full time job. The Govt should stop moaning if jobs are going everywhere you look....what is the choice for people.
@@janetmalcolm6191 the choice is get off thier arse and get a job if they're able bodied, I'm living in the end stages of a chronic illness but still working and not claiming benefits, I firmly believe there should be a time limit on benefits after which you should be expected to take what's available.
*References are the biggest employment hurdle.*
This guy nailed it to a degree but as usual, Julia had to keep interrupting. What is wrong with her? Not surprised this channel is shutting down. Oh and is this the Julia who's father is a GP. So anytime something is wrong with her, she can just go and ask him.
She's talking to a man who knows exactly what he's talking about but she still wants to condemn the unemployed.
She doesn't have one idea what it's like to have been born into miserable deprived areas under the shadow ofonce thriving industries where people don't find themselves in the lap of luxury and able to choose their dream jobs.
Benefits don't work as a temporary safety net, they're more a permanent lifestyle choice.
Very hard to move from work to benefits or benefits to work.
It's not hard to move from benefits to work - if the Jobcentre will help you. But they don't.
Mental health been a problem for decades .
Is there jobs in shity little towns
There is, they may not be what you want but beggars can’t be choosers. There needs to be some form of penalty for not getting work.
I retired early having planned it this way. Your guest is quite right, many people like myself having had a lifetime of work decided to retire early as a result of COVID, for many, but I had planned this since my late 20's.
I think there are a good many people who plan ahead. I wasn't going to retire until I was 62 but ended up going a year early, at an age where I can enjoy some freedom from being chained to a strict regime of work.
Some people love work, but as a technical worker, I ended my Software Team Leader role knowing that I'd served the industry well and left before I became too much of a risk.
Why don't Job centre's revert to how they worked before? People should be required to prove they have been looking for a job as they did before the Jobcentre became known as the joke factory
When you deal with a death you realise just how much information is on government computers. If someone who is fit to work refuses to do so then there is a delete button on the system that can be used. If there was no benefit system these people would do what?
Well said. A friend goes to Africa a lot on business. 4-5 years ago, he commented that "everyone in Africa is employed or self-employed". Seeing my quizical look, he then said "....being UNEmployed is not an option". No, I don't want UK to become a 2nd / 3rd world nation......but seem that there are several million who see Benefits as a lifestyle CHOICE>
If there was no benefits system your stuff would get stolen.
Check your thinking.
Lets see 25k a year. To buy a house in my neighborhood I need 400k..... Something doesn't see right
What happened to levelling up?
The interviewer comes across as a simpleton compared to the ex-government expert with direct experience of the benefit system. He is undoubtedly right in saying a punitive regime has wrought extreme outcomes for some claimants. There are published photographs of impoverished, skeletal individuals, dead from malnutrition, having been deprived of any income. The interviewee won't be heeded; Britain is forever on the search for the vulnerable, the weak, the traumatised, those whom have lost hope and the psychologically disabled to financially persecute.
If I return to work after my illness all of what I would earn would immeadiatly be taxed , as the job I would return to would be low paid anyway what would be the point ?....I run my own private pension which makes up my allowance...not much but I make it pay enough. I don't claim any benefits , I make it work on my 35K pension pot
Question the many benefits of the rich and powerful for once.
less talkers - more workers 🥳
Julia has no idea at all.
Add jobs that are actually enjoyable instead of the same equivalent of benefits income.
Optinioal retirement at 60 would sort it, kick young off sick, make people work 15 hours a week for benefits...
Julia went to Oxbridge. A degree in f all. A waste of air and class space.
Youth mental health is cultural look at education lack of hope of living in the uk with out the media discriminating them base on race and skin and class. 3.9% on benfits is vastly lower then historical so its not bad probably more likely more older people.
she is championing a system that is clearly failing and failed. She's so ignorant.
Offer 3 reasonable jobs if no take up cut all benefits
Yes, we ought to try that with Boris .
The Govt do all this anyway. Nothing new.
If you don't look for a job your benefit is stopped.
Hope many never need unemployment. It is not great looking for rubbish paying jobs. Try it! This Govt talks rubbish about it. Not many really want the Govt interference in their life to be truthful. Universal credit is not fully great the way it works. People talk a lot of rubbish who are lucky they have never had to claim. They are clueless.
Spot on!!! Lazy people need a push
Don't disagree - but what is a 'reaosnable job' and who is going to break that news to the pissed off chap sitting in-front of the Job Centre Employee !?
@@rjw4762 anything that pays 1 penny more than unemployment benefit plus travel costs, benefit is a necessity, not an "option"

Do like Sweden.
You pay into an insurance on top of income tax that is much higher than UK.
This insurance then pays out when you’re unemployed or sick, but it’s time limited for unemployment benefit and it’s time limited for sickness.
Eg have cancer you only get so long, depression you only get an amount of time, then it’s back to work.
It’s not like the uk where you can be off sick for ever.
The other issue is under employment eg too many part time workers then claiming working family tax credits, increase minimum wage and then stop working family tax credits, but at the same time make zero hour contracts illegal.
I have zero issue with people who physically can’t work due to having to care for a disabled person or have an actual disability but get people who claim everything off their fucking ass and into work
Exactly plus target the people who are clearly playing the system -plenty of people who could work but just don't fancy it -not straight forward tho unfortunately
What work ? We transferred all our manufacturing industries abroad decades ago.
"Claim everything" ? You mean like the millions of pounds for dodgy PPE contracts . Try kicking up, not down .
@@garyh1572 what’s that got to do with bone idle people claiming benefits
@@jessebongo46if there were no benefits the unemployed would find work pretty damn sharpish
What a load of claptrap!
Unemployment is high because of many reasons:
- failed education system lacking in discipline, teachers afraid of students, woke gender dismorhic dynamics being pushed on young students, "do what you feel like and the money will follow" - instead of encouraging young people to pursue worthwhile careers e.g. STEM (so we can actually compete with the like of India and China)
- blaming the middle class for their hard work and success - e.g. "you're a landlord, its your fault people can't get on the housing ladder" when actually - everyone wants to live in London....inflating house prices - travel 5 miles outside london, plenty of cheap property - but no one wants to live there! We can't talk about tenants trashing properties because that "anecdotal", yet the narrative of the "bad land lord" reigns supreme - because it feeds the victim mentality
- employers afraid to ask young people to work overtime because of "mental health problems". Same young people complain about wages
- Not teaching young people "basic economics" e.g. "if I keep eating out and getting deliveroo, spend £3 on starbucks coffee or spending £££ on drinking" - I'm not going to have much money to save......
- the break down of family culture leading to people living away from their parents at 18+, instead of moving back in and having their parents help them.....SAVE UP"
- working class victim mentality - "its rich people's (mostly entrepeneurs) fault you're poor. Urm no, we live in a tiered tax system economy, rich people who run business pay more tax, create jobs for others, pay - its how its used at local levels.....
- local councils like Croydon going bankrupt because of economic missmanagament and splashing out child benefit to single mothers - then complaining schools and local facilities don't have the adequate funding.
- affirmative action based recruitment instead of merit.....
For that julia heartly brewer to say "get any job", urm - the whole point of going to university, getting an apprenticeship or professional training - is to pursue a career in a particular field.
To ask a person who has worked hard to gain experiance and skills in a particular area to just "do any job" because they're now out of work - is rather ignorant.
Would brewer do "any job" if she got made reduntant and found it difficult to get a role in her field of choice???

I know entire families not on benefits…….physically disabled, mental health issues and conditions like Asperger syndrome, Autism etc and hold down jobs. Some people just don’t want to work full stop. One lady I know had never had a job, never been married and had 5 kids from 5 different dads and just lives off of the benefits given by the government and "absent dads", but still lives in a 4 bed detached and says it’s too small!
Yes I know lots of women who when one child gets to 4 or 5 are looking for another sperm donor so they can live off the state for a few more years, what a system!

This guy is a fool. His answer is higher benefits!😂😂😂😂
Our benefits are among the lowest in Europe.
The unemployed are not treated badly
It's the working class who are treated badly low wages and high taxes
Benefits should be reduced not increased - most of them are simply lazy.
Make being on benefits more worthwhile than working, and hey presto, gazillions of people are claiming dole, mental health and other frivolous reasons not to work!
We have some of the lowest benefits in Europe .
