Some great torying from Hammond.

The chancellor, Philip Hammond, faces an outcry this morning after appearing to partly blame people with disabilities for a fall in Britain’s productivity.

Hammond said “far higher levels of participation by marginal groups” in the workforce was almost certainly a cause of sluggish productivity in Britain’s economy.

My guess is that the numbers entering the workforce are not high enough to cause a significant effect.

It seems you really can't win.

Disabled, not working: Get benefits you can't live on, only not die on
Disabled and working: Get blamed for productivity issues.
