While many aspire to become Premier League footballers or social media influencers, former Work and Pensions Secretary Sir Iain Duncan Smith fears most do not know how to find a job at local businesses.

He has endorsed a report warning Britain is "heading for the worst of times" and sliding back into the "two nations" of the Victorian era, "marked by a widening gulf between mainstream society and a depressed and poverty-stricken underclass".

The Centre for Social Justice the think-tank founded by Sir Iain has met with children who are "fourth, fifth and even sixth generation unemployed".
