Vince Cable MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor, responding to the latest unemployment figures released today by the ONS, said:

"What could have been dismissed as a temporary blip is now becoming a very worrying permanent trend.

"The UK is heading back to the bad old days, and with worries growing over personal debt we could see people struggling to pay their mortgages and worrying about whether they will soon have a job."

Seems like NEW Labour's economic progress is starting to die down.

By economic progress do you mean throwing money at pubic sector consultants?

Don't worry. Evan Davies explained the rising figures on the Blair Broadcasting Corporation's 1 o'clock news.

Its just that the growth in public sector jobs is slowing. No worries.
