He added that we need to look forward.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS
#7MemesFor7Days of political immaturity, incompetence & idiocy —or evil by design?

Our response to the #SummerStatement: "The Chancellor’s focus on protecting jobs and supporting people into work is welcome and desperately needed in response to higher unemployment. Extra money for the flexible support fund is great news especially if it can be used...
"...more flexibly for up-front childcare costs, quality training and additional costs needed for job search, work clothing and fares. The existence of this support through the flexible support fund needs to be better publicised so claimants know there is help they can ask for...

"This Government has yet to take a difficult decision on public spending."
@nickmacpherson2 said that the Govt has "kind of got away with it", talking about the #SummerStatement.
