re: new rules for jobseeker must take jobs within 90 minute radius

I don't believe the propaganda train about the workshy, I do believe official statistics that show immigrants taking over 90% of jobs created this parliament.

I'm also fine with the survey about minutes per day spent job hunting:

A rather curious bunch to be skewing statistics to favour the British government don't you think?

I understand the confusion about minutes and miles, the story says minutes in the header and text and miles in the caption, although this is the Guardian.

The current requirement is usually 60 minutes commute I believe however this depends.

I would imagine there being some flexibility built into this as well. Clearly asking someone to commute 90 minutes for minimum wage is absurd.

For the first time, a reasonable offer will specify jobs which take up to an hour and a half to travel to.
Minimum wage 90 minutes away is hardly a 'reasonable offer' so no worries. For the kind of wage I earn 90 minutes away is a perfectly reasonable offer.

I suspect the stress and responsibility levels of the 'cushy' job you seem to think the Prime Minister has are a tad higher than our professions mertle.
