Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has said the temporary VAT cut should be ended immediately to pay for up to 800,000 young people to do work internships.
Funding internships, that sounds a novel idea. Perhaps he could implement that for his own party?
This is part of the Lib Dems policy paper: A Lifeboat for a Lost Generation. It’s actually pretty good.
Meanwhile Suzanne Moore writes:
Young people I know who have been trying to get fairly basic jobs in restaurants, pubs and shops have been told that no one wants to see their carefully presented CVs.
Applications for internships or work placements arrive in massive quantities. When people offering themselves for free cannot be employed – and here we are talking about kids from well-off families – we need to think again.
