At the moment the news is reported without comment or spin:
'UK unemployment fell by 17,000 in the three months to the end of February to 2.48 million, official figures show.I wonder how long before a Labour spokesman is quoted counselling caution or some other siren voice of despair is given a platform to criticise?
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the jobless rate among men had fallen, but had risen among women.
Youth unemployment stood at 963,000, with the jobless rate for young people remaining above 20%.
The number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance fell by 700 between February and March to 1.45 million, the ONS said.
Total pay rose by 2% compared with a year earlier.
The latest figures mean that the overall rate of unemployment in the UK now stands at 7.8%.'
I expect they will find a negative spin for it, much like they did yesterday.
