Chuka Umunna on Labour North West's #Jobsplan

The out of touch Tories are letting young people in the North West down.
One in five young people in the region are out of work and nearly 65,000 aged 16-24-years-old are claiming jobs seekers allowance.
The latest unemployment figures show that since January there has been a 87% rise in young people on the dole in the North West for six months or more.
Eight North West constituencies are in the top 25 worst hit in the country: Warrington South 210%, Blackpool South 223%, Preston 231%, Ribble Valley 233%, Chorley 243%, Barrow and Furness 245%, Warrington North 246% and Blackpool North and Cleveleys 283%.
Chuka Umunna, Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills during a visit to Chorley in Lancashire explains why there is a better way; Labour's five point plan for jobs.
Labour's #jobsplan includes a tax on bank bonuses that would create up to 18,000 jobs for young people in the North West.
