Britain's sickness benefits system is broken. It’s time to start again. Claims have doubled since the pandemic, costing taxpayers £55bn. I just launched Conservatives' review at Re:State, as part of our plan to get Britain working again.

Sickness benefit claims have doubled since the pandemic - but we’re not twice as sick. Time to rethink our sickness benefit system. That’s why I’m launching a root and branch review.

Lift the Ban on new Oil and Gas licences. Scrap the Windfall Tax. Get Britain Drilling. That's our plan to get Britain's energy sector moving again.

Everyone who can work, should work. Today, Mel Stride, Helen Whately MP, Andrew Griffith MP and I launched our campaign to Get Britain Working Again. We will leave no stone unturned. By the time of the next election, we will have a detailed plan to get Britain working.

Drivers have had enough of Labour councils making driving a car a nightmare. So Conservatives have a plan to set motorists free and Get Britain Working Again ⬇️

Britain’s benefits system isn’t working. Keir Starmer won’t fix it - nor will any of his leadership rivals. This morning I outlined our plan to save £23bn and get our country working again ⬇️

The easy option is to do nothing. Welfare reform takes courage. Conservatives have done it before through Universal Credit. And we’ll do it again with a new sickness benefits system.

Keir Starmer knew he wanted to be PM but he didn't have a plan for what he would do next. He's let the country down. Britain deserves better. I set out the next stage in Conservatives plan to get Britain working again here 👇

Actions must have consequences. A Conservative government led by Kemi Badenoch will enforce the law to take back our streets, and Get Britain Working Again.

More evidence of a broken welfare system. Benefits for people who could & should be in work only risks the support for those who truly need it. Fixing welfare takes courage. Only Conservatives are committed to starting again and building a whole new sickness benefits system.

The true cost of Rachel Reeves’ benefits budget will shock you. Labour are taking from hardworking people, and using it to pay people on welfare more. This has to stop. We have to Get Britain Working Again.

Labour promised not to raise taxes on working people. Nobody voted for record tax and out of control spending. It doesn’t have to be this way. Only the Conservatives have the backbone and plan to cut waste, lower tax and get Britain working again.

It’s time to say it as it is. For people who want to play the system, sickness benefits have become the easy option. It’s a kick in the teeth for people who desperately need help - and for taxpayers paying the bills. We will stop this.

Britain isn’t broken. Politics is. Too many politicians are in it for themselves, not the country. Grievance fixes nothing. Hard work and serious leadership do. Only the Conservatives have a plan to get Britain working.

Labour just voted to shut down our North Sea oil & gas industry costing thousands of jobs. This cannot go on. The Conservatives have a plan to cut bills, support industry, protect jobs, and make Britain energy secure. Our Get Britain Drilling bill would deliver exactly that.

Britain is not destined for decline. We are a GREAT country, full of potential, and there is so much to look forward to. So bring on 2026, and don’t lose hope, because Conservatives are building a plan to Get Britain Working Again.

Rachel Reeves is in a parallel universe 🧑‍🚀 She needs to get out and talk to people in the real world to see the harm she is doing. The Conservatives are the only Party with a plan to get Britain working again.

The Conservatives have a fully costed plan to scrap the Carbon Tax to save British industry and protect our energy security. With war in the Middle East, it's even more important that we have domestic refining capacity. Here’s how we will get Britain working again👇
