🚨 NEW: Unemployment rises again under Labour — now at 4.7%, the highest since 2021.

Fewer people in work. Wage growth slowing. Payrolled employees falling.

Yet the only group seeing a boost? Public sector workers — propped up by state handouts while the rest of the economy falters.

Labour promised economic renewal. We got rising joblessness and taxpayer-funded complacency.
