It is great news. However, since it's our government, my first query is how the figures are fudged. More people in work schemes or 0-hour contracts?

I listened to that. He said Britain would be part of the CETA deal because we're part of the EU.

He was at pains to avoid any hint that a UK Canada deal would (or wouldn't) be on the cards in the future.

POST TRUTH-AGE
Treasury, May 2016;
“There is a clear central conclusion, a VOTE to leave would represent an immediate and profound shock to the economy, that shock would push the economy into recession, and add 500,000 to the unemployed number"

The link was to Bloomberg. The guys on Twitter are pointing out the context in terms of German domestic politics and Merkel on FOM/Benefits.

It was benefits she was talking about, not major concessions on FOM.
