If you apply for the Winter Fuel Payment this week you probably won't hear back until March. What good is that for a pensioner deciding whether they can heat their home this Christmas? Labour's winter fuel cut is as incompetent as it is cruel.

We know Labour MPs only want to tax more people to pay for more benefits. Starmer couldn't control them and in the end they kicked him out. What will Burnham do differently?

Want to know why your taxes are going up? Labour MPs see your money as theirs to spend… …on more benefits, funded by more taxes.

1,000 new PIP claims EVERY SINGLE DAY. It’s unaffordable. Unfair to taxpayers. And just morally wrong. Everyone can see that - EXCEPT Labour MPs who just want to TAX people more to SPEND more on benefits.

Free cars for ADHD is not what our welfare system was designed for. Nor can we afford it. Conservatives will reform Motability so that it's there for the seriously disabled. And we'll invest the savings so that we reach 3% of GDP on Defence.

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 end this.

Benefits are easier to claim and work is harder to get under Labour. It’s a disaster for young people. I’ve been in the NEET capital of the country, Blackpool, to meet people at the coalface of this crisis.

Does Burnham know what happens when a vulnerable country gets attacked? Without national security, there will be no social security. Prioritising the ballooning benefits bill over our national security is in Labour's DNA.

Welfare reform is about more than saving money. A life in work > a life on benefits. Writing people off onto sickness benefits is the wrong answer to the mental health problems of our time. #bbcqt

As Mayor, Burnham spent £700k on getting asylum seekers in Manchester benefits. If people know they can stay & claim benefits, they’ll keep coming. Brits are tired of being taxed for endless benefits. Conservatives would stop benefits for foreign nationals and save £7bn.

Andy's summer of fun has come to an end. It's time for him to make the hard choices to cut welfare, get growth and invest in defence. But will he do it?

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 Kemi Badenoch Conservatives would leave the ECHR and get a grip of Motability.

Labour is bragging today about their taxpayer-funded work placements scheme. Don't be fooled! Their jobs tax and red tape have destroyed job opportunities for a generation of young people. The answer is NOT more tax and spend - but to back businesses to create REAL JOBS.

Labour are watering down benefit checks. £ millions more will go out in benefits, paid for by taxpayers. People getting PIP for things like anxiety, alcoholism, acne...could get payouts for years with no re-assessments. Labour doesn't care. Conservatives are fighting to stop this.

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?

Studied hard, got the grades, went to uni - but end up on benefits. Young people are being let down by degrees that don't pay back and a decimated jobs market thanks to Labour. Losing a generation of talent comes at a price.

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.

We will end social housing for foreign nationals and free up 230,000 homes for British families. Conservatives will make sure our welfare system always puts British people first.

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.

Ten million people on benefits isn’t fair and it isn’t affordable. Today I set out my common sense plan.

We will spend 3% of GDP on defence - and we know how. We’ll bring back the 2-child cap. Reform housing benefit. And scrap the Chagos deal. Just saying you’ll fund defence is not enough. Conservatives have a plan.

I forced the Government to reveal the facts on Motability. It cost taxpayers £3 billion this year alone. We have a plan to fix this. Watch below👇

Government could save £2bn by bringing back face-to-face PIP assessments. Ministers say they're doing that, but the numbers tell a different story. So do the empty assessment centres. Time to get a grip of the benefits bill.
