A political commentator has given his verdict on what the best Christmas gift for Britons would be, joining Martin Daubney to discuss the latest economic figures.

Earlier today, the Office for National Statistics revealed that unemployment rates have hit a five-year high, reaching 5.1 per cent in the three months leading up to October.

Independent statistician Jamie Jenkins sat down with Martin to rip into Labour’s economic record, namely blasting its impact on young people.

He said: “The best advice I’d give to the Chancellor is just to resign. The figures are the facts and you can’t deny the facts. The facts are all going in the wrong direction.

“If Keir Starmer wants to go down a different road, he needs to change the Chancellor. But I think he’s probably using Rachel Reeves as kind of a shield away from him.

“Ultimately, as we move forward, I don’t think the Labour Party can sustain either of them if they’re going to continue to see this weak economy.

“So I think the best Christmas present for the public, Martin, is for both of them to resign.”
