Jonathan Reynolds – 2021 Comments on Government’s Plan for Jobs Expansion

The comments made by Jonathan Reynolds, the Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, on 3 October 2021.

The Government’s struggling Plan for Jobs has failed to hit its original targets; it is not creating the number of jobs needed and has failed to address the supply chain crisis Britain is experiencing.

Giving himself an extended deadline will do nothing to compensate for the Chancellor’s tax rises, cost of living crisis and cuts to Universal Credit which are set to hammer millions of working families.

Labour would create new jobs with our plan to buy, make and sell more in Britain to get our economy firing on all cylinders.
