Polygamy is illegal in the UK. But if you’ve married 4 wives overseas and moved here, you could claim up to £78,000 in benefits. Paid for by British taxpayers. That is absurd. Conservatives will ...

We don’t allow polygamous marriages in the UK. We shouldn’t support polygamy in the benefits system. The more I dig into Welfare, the more I find to fix.

Britain can’t be a cash machine for the world. Time to stop benefits for foreign nationals so that we can invest more in defence. https://t.co/Xdziv0kqGR

You don’t get a pay rise from your employer when you have another child. But Labour MPs think people on benefits should get ££££ from taxpayers for every child they have. Hear them cheer at spend...

You don't get a pay rise when you have a child. You make your money go further. But from this month, your taxes are funding households on benefits an extra £3,560 per child with no limit. Labour...

Ministers tried to force mandation through AGAIN. Thanks to the Lords they failed. No government should have control over where your pension gets invested. https://t.co/GiLoUipbC4

Alarm clock Britain is sick of paying out for Benefits Street. Why bother working when you can get £30,000 or even £60,000 on benefits - untaxed. So what's the Government doing about it? Nothing....

Your pension belongs to you - not politicians. Tonight in the Lords, Conservatives and cross-party peers will again oppose plans that let Ministers dictate where your retirement savings are invest...

Pensions aren’t piggy banks for governments to raid. But this Labour government is desperate. Today they forced through the power to control where your pension savings are invested. @Conservative...

Time to overrule the Pensions Minister – who’s hidden a dangerous power in the Pensions Bill. I wrote to his boss (the Secretary of State) to say no government should have the power to choose wher...

Taxpayers are funding Motability cars for people on benefits which they can't even afford themselves. In the past, being in the ECHR stopped us fixing this. Under @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives woul...

Thousands of households claim £50,000+ in benefits every year. You have to earn £65k for that income through work. It’s not fair and we can’t afford it. The next step in my plan to grip welfar...

Scrapping luxury Motability cars is a start - but time for Labour to seriously reform the scheme. @Conservatives would end free cars for tennis elbow, acne and ADHD. Motability was set up for the...

The state does not owe those who refuse to work a living. @Conservatives will end golden tickets to unlimited welfare. If any adult in a household can work, they must. https://t.co/FK8eo5vkYl

Endless handouts don’t lift children out of poverty. Getting parents into work does. Scrapping the 2-child cap isn’t kind, fair to taxpayers or affordable... yet we're the only party who sees this...

150,000 people get sickness benefits worth £5,000 a year - but the government has no idea why. No diagnosis, no evidence on file - the government just hands out the money. Your money. £770 million...
