It's the state's problem.
We see mass redundancies in areas where world of work is changing.
And yet we're not seeing the ability to be agile enough to deliver for those people.
You know, we're talking about net zero.
We're talking about the change to move to renewables.
It's the right thing to do.
But there's a lot of concern around people who are in the oil industry
industry saying well where's my job going to be and where's the transition and that is going to happen at the moment we talk about it in particular industries but that's going to happen by a whole swathes of the economy and therefore we need an active state that looks at lifelong learning and I believe that's part of the wider conversation that we need to be having.
But it's not being sold, right?
employment rights and obviously employers have got their criticisms of it and some of that is true especially combined with the national insurance contribution which I've raised all the costs you know we said we'd do the business rates review the national insurance contributions you know energy costs have gone up we said that energy costs wouldn't go up we've had the
war in Ukraine, we've now got the war in Iran, which has all had a knock-on effect.
They're not interested in excuses.
All they see is that it's made it even more difficult.
But out of all of them, I'm going to defend the Employment Rights Act and putting money in working people's pockets and increasing the minimum wage because we don't want them to feel like there's no hope for them to be able to get out of the challenges.
And you're right, we have done the things that do affect and will affect the Gen Z generation and will make the country better off.
And we need to be talking about those things and we need to be proud of those things.
And we need to go out there and fight for them.
Because if you're fighting for them, then you're showing the people that are in that circumstance at the moment that you're fighting for them and that there is opportunity for them.
And I think that that is what's missing.
And part of the reason that that's missing is it's so much easier for mainstream media and for others to just make it all about personalities or make it all about like a 30 second clip.
