Trouble at the Office of National Statistics continues with staff churn, failing methods & funding problems all undermining reliability of the data on which Govt. depends for formulating policy.

The potential difference between ONS & independent assessment (here by the Resolution Foundation) of employment suggest labour market policy (especially regarding the 'economically inactive') may be misconceived (which many would argue anyway).

In a sense Labour *is* flying blind
