Unite's reaction to latest unemployment figures

14th October 2009

Unite joint general secretary, Derek Simpson, said: "This is no time for complacency but it seems that the government is administering the correct medicine to the economy.

"The government's active support for Vauxhall highlights that intervention works and contrasts starkly with the Tory approach of savage cuts and laissez faire economics.

"The Tories talk of a broken Britain - well vote Tory and they'll break it for good."
