Brown to unveil job boost plans

Gordon Brown is to set out measures aimed at achieving the dream of "a British job for every British worker".

The prime minister will unveil proposals to create 500,000 new jobs for British workers during his first speech to the TUC as premier.

The plans, targeted at lone parents and the long-term unemployed, include cash incentives. The Tories say the scheme is "all about grabbing the headlines".

Public pay is likely to be the big issue at the Brighton conference.
