In this afternoon’s Prime Minister’s Questions, Boris Johnson finally stopped making the false claim that there are more people in work now than there were before the pandemic.
He’s right there are more payrolled employees–but this excludes the self-employed. There aren’t more people in employment, as he previously claimed.
This is significant, because as recently as yesterday the PM and his colleagues have been getting this wrong.
Friend, it shouldn't take three months to get the facts right.
Do you agree we deserve better?
