Kemi Badenoch, Leader of the Conservative Party, is doubtful that, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (UK), Keir Starmer’s Labour Party will fix the country’s welfare system.
This is coming after “Labour and Reform voted for more welfare spending, more handouts, and no reform!”
The opposition Leader said, “sickness benefits alone” are running to cost “£100 billon a year by 2030”, describing it as “unaffordable and immoral”.
Badenoch said, Britain is in need of Politicians who don’t “chase easy applause”, but, the ones that “tell the truth”.
In her reaction to the vote for more welfare spending without reform, Kemi Badenoch said: “Who is actually serious about fixing our broken welfare system? Well we’re about to find out…
“This week, Labour, the Lib Dems, SNP, Greens, Independents – and Reform – all voted for more welfare spending, more handouts, and no reform!
“By 2030, sickness benefits alone are on track to cost £100 billion a year. That’s not just unaffordable — it’s unjustifiable and immoral.
“And Labour and Reform want to go further. Starmer is now flirting with scrapping the two-child benefit cap — and Reform are right behind him. Farage even says he’s “not finished yet” with benefits giveaways.
“The public deserve to know where each party stands.
“So next week, we’re putting forward tough, no-nonsense amendments that:
• Require face-to-face PIP assessments – to stop reported abuse of the system
• End automatic ‘severe condition’ status for low level mental health issues like anxiety and ADHD
• Block Labour’s Universal Credit uplift until real reform happens
“Britain needs politicians who tell the truth – not those chasing easy applause.
“Only then can we deliver the real change our country so desperately needs.”
Who is actually serious about fixing our broken welfare system? Well we’re about to find out…
