Watering down the benefits system instead of tightening it up. Another wrong answer from Keir Starmer. Labour doesn’t have the courage to reform welfare.

Why Labour won’t reform welfare. Here it is, in black and white in Mandelson’s messages with Pat McFadden. Labour MPs set on spending more of other people’s money to pay for Benefits Street.

1 in 7 young people are NEET. Two years of job-destroying decisions from the Government & drift on welfare have turned a post-pandemic problem into a systemic crisis. I write in the @Telegraph 🔗 ...

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...

Alarm clock Britain is sick of paying out for Benefits Street. But Starmer bottled welfare reform - and Labour MPs won’t back it. Link to my @capx_news article in my story.

It’s not just Starmer who’s the problem. It’s all the Labour MPs who believe the answer to our country’s problems is spending more of other people’s money. They’re wrong. Click the link in my st...

Enough is enough. Britain can’t be a cash machine for the world. No more gaming the welfare system. No more free cars for tennis elbow or acne. Welfare needs fixing, here’s how we’ll do it 👇

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 is the Government doing about it? Nothing.

Working age welfare costs us £140 billion a year... and rising. But Keir Starmer’s Kings Speech does nothing to grip the welfare bill. Why? Because cutting welfare won’t wash with Labour MPs.

They can change out the leader…but it will still be the same old tax-and-spend Labour. They know no other way. Britain needs to be taxed less, and that means getting welfare under control 👇
