GB2GB Media Watch: Britain’s Young People Are in Crisis - So Why Are We Hearing About Corporate Pain
BBC Framing Big Business Woes As A Reason for High Youth Unemployment - Without Ever Challenging Same Big Business On Its Obscene Profits. Right Wing Tactics Supporting Business - Ignoring Those That Get Behind - But Only When It's Under Labour?

BriefingWire.com, 5/28/2026 - Alan Milburn’s interim report warns that over one million young people are now NEET — not in employment, education or training.

He calls it a moral crisis, not just an economic one. He says Britain is “at risk of a lost generation”.

Young people applying for 200, 300, 400 jobs with no reply. Doors closed. Confidence crushed. Opportunity evaporating. And yet — what dominates the airwaves?

Young people get a bit more money - Business shuts them down and uses technology to replace them - because that makes them even more money - Government gets blamed for paying the youngest a slightly bigger piece of the 'fat' pie.

Business pays more NI - public pays the price by passing it on - pie is KING - LONG LIVE THE KING!

Companies are warning they are “struggling” with National Insurance increases and minimum-wage rises.

On BBC's Radio 4 this morning, an energy company spokesperson (SES) glibly mentioned their £8bn annual profits, then immediately pivoted to explaining how they are helping the public with their investment as if the story is about corporate benevolence rather than structural failure - perhaps a larger share of that £8bn would have shown more humility.

In another BBC article Next has reduced staff numbers in its shops, which the company attributes to the need to operate more efficiently under higher employment costs. Automation and new technologies, such as self-scanning lockers for returns, are presented as tools that improve efficiency and customer experience.

Despite these challenges, Next has raised its profit forecast to £1.2bn, which is framed as evidence of strong management in difficult conditions. Executive pay, including Lord Wolfson’s £7m+ earnings, is justified as reflecting shareholder value and company performance.

While Young people are drowning the BBC prefer to allow highly profitable business to wail about cost of minimum wage, increase in NI costs, instead of taking them to account about their obscene profits - true right wing tactics and an insult to the working class

1. National Insurance increases do not create a youth-employment crisis

They are a contribution to a system that has been hollowed out for a decade. Workers pay in. Companies pay in. That is how a functioning society works.

2. Minimum-wage rises are not the cause of one million NEETs

They are the bare minimum required for survival in a country where living costs have outpaced wages for years.

3. Record corporate profits and record youth unemployment should not coexist. If companies can report billions in profit, they can contribute to rebuilding the country young people are trying to enter.

4. Time after time the “companies are suffering” narrative is a distraction.

For the BBC It shifts attention away from their *Don't go down memory lane of mentioning 14 years of chaos and greed from a Conservative government* policy - which is precisely why the Conservatives got kicked out - and now why permanently ring wing BBC media fights back!. Never talk about Tory issues on:

underfunded schools

collapsing youth services

insecure and low paid work

the disappearance of entry-level jobs

the lack of training pathways

the failure to support young people long before they reach the job market

5. Britain’s young people are not failing — the system around them is.

Milburn’s report makes that clear. The BBC’s own case studies make that clear. The lived experience of thousands of young people makes that clear. TIME FOR BBC TO SUPPORT NOT SMEAR
