“Motability won’t give up its lucrative business without a fight” “Motability is so successful it now has a fleet worth £14 billion… one in five new cars sold in the UK is a Motability vehicle.” With the Welfare Bill now faltering, Motability is back in the spotlight, its…
Once upon a time Morability was set up with honorable intentions but now forms part of a honey trap of sickness benefits #Motability #Welfare #WelfareReform @Helen_Whately spectator.co.uk/article/motabi…
I’m glad more and more people are picking up on how flawed the system is I wrote scout this in @spectator months ago #Motability @Helen_Whately @danny__kruger @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…
Keir Starmer reckons rising unemployment is a good thing. Try telling that to someone who just lost their job because of Labour’s jobs tax.
Rising unemployment a sign people are looking for work, Starmer claims on.ft.com/4lNcQ2w
Surprise, surprise... Labour eying up pensioners to fix their financial mess. Encouraging people to save more is something the @Conservatives back. But if Rachel Reeves hikes taxes on pensions and savings in the Budget, how will that help? dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
Unemployment is up again. Wage growth slowest for 3 years. This isn’t just stats. This is people’s lives we’re talking about. When Keir Starmer says he’s only just started, what will unemployment look like when he’s finished? ➡️ telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…
We brought in the two-child benefit limit because people on benefits should make the same choices as everyone else. Reform want more benefits. Starmer won’t say what he believes. Today @Conservatives are forcing a vote in Parliament to find out.
‘The rider is getting heavier than the horse.’ Tory leader @kemibadenoch says we can't ‘bankrupt ourselves with kindness’ when it comes to Britain’s welfare bill.
After 2010 we helped millions off welfare and into work & fixed the public finances. Then Covid hit and disability & sickness benefits soared. We were bringing in reforms to fix it - but Lab have abandoned reform and we’re back to the doom loop of welfare, tax and debt.
Such a missed opportunity for Labour, but @KemiBadenoch is right. Nobody except @Conservatives has the appetite or will for actual reform @Helen_Whately @danny__kruger #Welfare spectator.co.uk/article/kemi-i…
WorkWell…designed by @Conservatives Sick note reforms…ready to launch last year. What will @wesstreeting do when he runs out of our ideas?
GPs in England will be told to send people to job coaches or to the gym, in a bid to reduce the number of sick notes issued. The WorkWell Primary Care scheme from the Government is designed to get more people back to work and will run in 15 regions of England with high levels…
1 in 4 people describe themselves as disabled. That can’t make sense and it’s definitely not affordable. Time to draw a line in the sand on benefits for common mental health issues. Grateful to @spectator & Patrick West for picking up on a conversation which needs to be had.
Britain’s mental health crisis isn’t what you think ✍️ Patrick West spectator.co.uk/article/britai…
This was the week Keir Starmer tried to grasp the nettle of welfare cuts, but he got stung and gave up. That might seem funny if it wasn’t so serious. Labour, Reform, Lib Dems, Greens…all backed more spending. Only the Conservatives are serious about living within our means.
Labour simply can’t deal with reality #SEND #WelfareReformBill spectator.co.uk/article/dont-t…
Mainstream school isn’t right for every child. With behaviour issues rising, moving children to a different setting can be the right call. Actions must have consequences. But we need more APs. The amazing New Rush Hall School shows what’s possible when we get it right.

If you can’t say what the problem is, you’ll never fix it. Labour and Reform won’t, so I will: Welfare spending is too high. It must come down.
None of the other Party leaders have the guts to fix Britain’s broken welfare system. @KemiBadenoch does.
We are the only party that is prepared to tell the truth and take the tough decisions to get spending under control. That is the way to bring about real change and fix Britain’s broken welfare system.
We should aim to lift people up, not write them off. The Spectator: share.google/9A8yQOUF1K69HO…
