On Politics Thursday this week Nick Mills was joined by Labour MP Ayesha Verrall and National's Wairarapa MP Mike Butterick. 

They discussed the new unemployment figures which are up to 5.3%, the highest since 2016, talking reactions, causes and ways to recover. 

Verrall and Butterick then spoke on the political issues of the week, including the rumours of a bill to ban homelessness in CBDs, sick leave, water safety funding and if they would ban fireworks.
