It takes courage to reform welfare. When 4 million people are on sickness benefits and nearly half a million are under 25, it's clear the system isn't working. I'm prepared to rip up the current system and build something better – one that supports disabled people and is fair to taxpayers.

We can't go on like this. Instead of having a growing economy to pay a shrinking welfare bill, we’ll have a shrinking economy trying to pay a growing welfare bill. Kemi is right – we risk becoming a welfare state with an economy attached. That's why we'll start again on sickness benefits.

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 scrapped the 2-child benefit cap & put up benefits. People are asking - why work?

Disability benefits will cost taxpayers £20 billion more by 2029. A surge in claims for mild mental health conditions & neurodiversity is behind it. Handouts aren’t the answer. A Conservatives government will reassess these claims to get people into work, rather than welfare.

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 spending billions more on benefits when it’s unfair & the country can’t afford it.

Rachel Reeves wanted unfettered control over where your pension is invested. We cut her power grab off at the knees and forced another U-turn. Mandation is a vestige of its former self. But @conservatives know it's wrong in principle. Pensions belong to savers, not ministers.
