Broughty Ferry has an unemployment rate that is relatively low. But for the person unemployed, the unemployment rate is 100% and the experience of unemployment may be extremely painful and distressing.
As well as those out of work, there are many others who live with the fear of becoming unemployed, and many others struggling with higher fuel and food costs.
This is why I am supporting Labour's plan for jobs and growth.
It includes :
- A £2 billion tax on bank bonuses to fund 100,000 jobs
- Bringing forward long-term investment projects for schools, roads and transport
- Reversing January's damaging VAT rise for a temporary period
- A one year cut in VAT to 5% on home improvements and
- A one year national insurance tax break for every small firm which takes on extra workers.
This is a clear 5- point plan to help families and to support small businesses.
