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?

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.

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.

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.

Britain will be stronger through work, not welfare. But Labour MPs hate any talk of reining in benefits. Andy Burnham needs to rise to the challenge. We can't afford another PM too timid to stick up for taxpayers - and our country.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

British people are tired of footing the bill for Benefits Street. Tired of seeing welfare claimants living lives of luxury at their expense. Strengthening the Benefit Cap would end golden tickets to unlimited welfare and save £1bn. Why won't the Minister do it?

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.

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👇

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. Conservatives voted against it - and we'll do so again in the Lords next week.

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.

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.

Labour would rather bankroll migrant benefits than keep the country safe. There's still no sign of the Defence Investment Plan - why? They’ve chosen welfare spending over defence. Stopping benefits for foreign nationals would save £7bn. But they won’t.

Starmer killed 300,000 jobs when he taxed businesses and made it too expensive for them to hire. Now Labour is using taxes to fund a new state-subsidised jobs scheme. The economic madness of Starmer’s government won’t be forgotten.

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.

Burnham will spend £700k on helping asylum seekers claim benefits in Manchester. He's not serious about cutting the welfare bill. The British people are tired of seeing their hard-earned money spent on handouts to foreigners. Conservatives would stop this and save £7bn.
