  • The prime minister is suggesting that tax cuts will be on the horizon if the government successfully tightens the rules for claiming out-of-work and sick benefits. Rishi Sunak made his stance on welfare and financial policies as part of his growing election campaign.
    In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, the prime minister aimed to highlight the differences between the Conservatives and Labour as the election campaign gains momentum.
    Petrie Hosken speaks with deputy policy editor Sophia Worringer and autor Richard Power-Sayeed.

The only difference is the upper classes just take more and more without giving anything back. The biggest failure of our times.

      The priority should be making corporations pay correct amount of Taxes.
      The priority be not funding wars and killing of innocent women and children. We have money to fund wars and bombs but not for junior doctors and others. Pay rise in level with inflation.
      The priority should be a fair wage. If your working full time have enough money to pay all your expenses. Subsidising corporations so they don't have to pay a living wage so top up with benefits.

Every single disabled person who worked there has never found a job since it closed down. That company had different divisions that did:
    Electrical Assembly.
    Cabinet making.

    Textiles including a big contract providing the army with combat clothing.

    The majority of people on benefits, don't want to be on benefits, however, the majority of millionaires/billionaires avoiding paying tax and sucking in tax payer funds plan for that and laugh all the way to the bank. Get real with this subject, people on benefits are not living the life of luxury, unlike the millionaires and billionaires swindling the tax payer, still waiting for the PPE! If the economy was better managed, fewer people would be suffering mental health issues. If the government did not starve the NHS, mental health services in particular, fewer people would need benefits because they would be receiving the appropriate treatment. I am fed up with journalists vilifying those on low income, who suffer the most when the economy is mis-managed in favour of those who take public money to line their already bulging pockets and spend it abraod. Yes, there will always be a minority who work the benefits system, but, comparatively speaking, they are less than a drop in the ocean in terms of how many millionaires and billionaires take tax payers money for they own ends

    My thoughts - there are loads of different mental health diagnoses and each one has their own unique symptoms, please do not fall into the trap of thinking mental health is only about depression it is not and your judgements do not help with people being open about their own mental health diagnoses. Going for a jog may help some but not others for many reasons that are not taken into consideration. Judging people with mental health will not get them back to work, if you are focusing your attention on this group of people you are only making your life worse by believing others are better off than yourselves, concentrate on your own life and improve your own circumstances rather than others that you think are riding the system.
    Also the government wants you to focus on this in order to take away the attention away from the amount of money they are giving to immigrants that have arrived in our country and have not contributed to our system and this seems to be working for the government, because I don’t hear you talking or judging about how much money is being given to immigrants who have not paid into our system.

    All of my former neighbours where I was living before were youths with a criminal record. I heard them more than once being coached by the social "workers" (not that they actually did anything resembling any form of work) on how to keep pretending looking for a job to leech more on the system.
    They got rent and utilities paid, plus a few hundreds a month for groceries, mobile, cigarettes (?!) and more; no employable skills, no impulse control, two of them even no literacy at all... What would they expect it to get out of it?

      In my day youngsters were introduced to work ethic at a young age. I had three part-time jobs at age 13, newspaper round before school, collecting for a football charity once a fortnight, and a saturday job. Saturday jobs for them to earn some pocket money in retail doesn't exist anymore. Few parents give their children chores to do for their pocket money. At age 15 I was working full-time, and with a saturday and evening job too. If youngsters don't get the opportunities to learn young, the older they get, their less inclined to engage with the big wide world. Plus mass migration has also demoralized many Brits and in some areas they're totally outnumbered. That impacts on their psyche in a detrimental way. @@GiacomoSorbi

    As someone who has/still is dealing with mental health issues, on UC and working (granted it's part time) my two pieces of advice to help people in my situation is 1.) Please stop persisting with the regular interviews/appointments with Jobcentre as we are working but have difficult limitations. The constant stress of being scrutinised for our conditions doesn't help. 2.) Make talking therapies more readily available. Ideally in short time. Talking therapies helped me get out of a very dark place and honestly saved my life. I would recommend it to anyone with mental health problems like depression & anxiety.

      Disability Benefit is quite a lot higher than Universal credit. Gone are the days when you could be on the dole, claiming for kids you don't have or a wife that left years ago, be fair nowadays people have to use food banks to survive and if you are late for an appointment they can stop your money for up to six months. You now have to prove that you are actively seeking work or you get sanctioned(new speak for money docked). Its rough out there if you don't have a job, and only a right wing Tory would claim otherwise. Thank god I'm not on that soul destroying treadmill any more, It ain't fun I can tell you.

Further, 'Universal Credit' & HMRC, is crossing so many barriers in terms of privacy & data protection concerns that it would be extremely difficult to 'fob off the system'. At some point people have to realise that it's 'big government' that is the problem, who give tonnes of money to civil servants, migrants (legal & illegal), foreign aid (particularly billions to India who have their own space program).

If there are job vacancies to be filled and someone on benefits is fit and able then the job should go to them and if they refuse to take it - zero benefits.

      And Utility Bills (In the age of automation and renewable energy, water & electricity are damn near free, and before urbanisation back when everybody had a plot of land, everybody had a well or spring they could get free clean water from)

Turn up so and so at such and such then it is the persons own fault if they don't go.
