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?

While hardworking families tighten their belts just to make ends meet, Rachel Reeves has given those on benefits a pay rise. Under Labour, some benefit claimants will now receive thousands more for larger families - at a cost to harworking taxpayers of £3.5 billion a year.

This is the first time in our history that a president has used food benefits as a political tool. In Oregon, 450,000 families receive SNAP benefits. We filed a lawsuit to release these funds - because no one should go hungry because the government refuses to follow the law.

Starting Nov. 1, families across OC will start to go hungry because Republicans are holding their SNAP benefits hostage. Using hunger as a political weapon is unacceptable. It’s time for Republicans to end their vacations, get back to work, and protect the benefits families rely on to survive.

When hardworking families are tightening their belts and businesses are being taxed to within an inch of their life, why should those on benefits be rewarded. A future Conservatives government will END Rachel Reeves' benefits bonanza and cut the welfare bill by at least £23 billion. Cut Welfare. Reward Work. Build a Stronger Economy.

.Secretary Brooke Rollins: "Dept. of Agriculture does NOT have the $9.2 billion that it would require" to keep SNAP benefits from running out — and unless Democrats vote to END their shutdown, food stamp recipients will not receive their benefits beginning on Saturday.

🚨 WTF?! JD Vance just exposed that the Democrat AG of Wisconsin is REFUSING to verify recipients of federal welfare benefits are searching for work Cut off the funds! "When I hear the Attorney General of this state saying that we don't want to confirm that people are looking for work before they receive federal benefits, my natural question is, why are you so against people looking for a job?!" "That's it. We're not saying that we want anybody to go without medical benefits." "What we're saying is that we want you, if you're going to receive these benefits, we want you at least to try to find a job." "And I think in the same way that every single person in this room and every single tax paying citizen of Wisconsin hands their money over to the government, it's totally reasonable for them to expect the beneficiaries of that money to at least be looking for work. That's the contract. And if you violate that contract, you shouldn't get a dime of federal money."

The PM has promised that all existing disability claimants will now be able to keep their benefits, in a bid to head off defeat by his own MPs. 'Is it fair?' Care Minister Stephen Kinnock is asked for his reaction to a Labour MP's concerns about the welfare bill.

The benefits bill is a time bomb that will bankrupt the country. And a moral disaster wasting the potential of millions of people. Reform will fix it. We're for workers, not welfare.

How can you get a whole community off benefits and into work? We launched JobsPlus pilots in towns and cities in the UK, applying lessons from the US. It’s not easy…but better to help someone earn their own living than finesse another benefits claim.
