About this analysis

LBC reports the government's expansion of its youth jobs scheme, the forthcoming Milburn review and the Conservative response. It attributes its claims to named ministers, officials and opposition figures, and gives figures with a base and a period. Nothing in it misleads the reader.

What it gets right

  • “The DWP’s existing scheme is called the “jobs guarantee” but does not include a legal duty.”

    LBC tells the reader that the government's word "guarantee" carries no legal duty, so the scheme's branding does not pass as a legal promise.

  • “18 to 24-year-olds not in employment, education or training – which topped a million earlier this year for the first time in more than a decade”

    LBC defines the group and gives the figure with its period and comparison, so the word crisis rests on a stated number.

  • “Labour was “treating the symptoms of its youth unemployment crisis rather than tackling the causes””

    LBC gives the opposition's criticism in quoted, attributed words and lets it stand against the minister's claims, so the government does not get the last word on its own scheme.
