Lets be clear, the wide-spread moral panic about economic inactivity & its drag on the UK economy is nothing other than a false narrative being deployed to justify more surveillance, more conditionality & more pressure on benefits recipients.... actually levels of adults not in work is at levels lower than seen for the last 50 years.

We must reject this depiction of the UK's economy & rather focus on the rubbish quality of work on offer & specifically gig-economy work!
