Graham Stuart

Conservative — Beverley and Holderness

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 January 2026

Debate

Youth Unemployment

Contribution

I hope the hon. Lady will say now on the Floor of the House that if the youth unemployment rate continues to go up, as it did under previous Labour Governments, from the 14% inherited from the Conservatives to 20%—if that were to be the terrible outcome, with its scarring impact on young people—she would not seek to stand for the Labour party at the next election, because she would recognise that she had failed us.
