Boris Johnson has been rebuked by the stats watchdog a third time after the Prime Minister made false claims about employment he had already been told were untrue.
The UK Statistics Authority warned the PM his claim at a PMQs in February that there were "500,000 more people in paid employment now than there were before the pandemic began" was wrong.
While people on payrolls are up since pre-Covid, the number of people in jobs overall was still down by 580,000 compared to December 2019-February 2020.
