Streeting’s U-Turn on Youth Jobs

Streeting’s U-Turn on Youth Jobs

Published 3 days, 7 hours ago
Description

Wes Streeting’s bold new plan to tackle youth unemployment? Slash employer National Insurance for hiring young workers — a surprising U-turn from Labour’s recent budget that raised those taxes to fund public services. While critics say higher NI and minimum wage rules deter hiring, Streeting argues cheaper hiring incentives could spark a youth jobs boom. Meanwhile, he’s also quietly pivoting on North Sea drilling, suggesting new licenses could boost revenue — even as Labour’s manifesto vowed to stop them.
