1 in 5 adults in Britain are now on Universal Credit. Last week I was in Blackpool, where it’s 1 in 3. Welfare has become a way of life. This has to stop. We can’t afford it - and it’s morally wrong.

@Helen_whately I take it that you know, Universal Credit is also an in work benefit! This is because politicians like yourself have destroyed the economy. Wages in the UK don't cut it! Divide and Conquer, the oldest political tactic. It doesn't work any more Helen!

Hey Helen you should listen to this MP you might learn something, though given your ignorance and low IQ it may be a stretch⬇️
Not enough people seem to be grasping that you can still be WORKING and receive universal credit. You can still be WORKING and be entitled to PIP. Many, many people want to work- the issue is that successive govts have hammered small businesses. Meaning pay has to be topped up. At the same time, nearly two decades of austerity have defunded the very interventions in early years that would stop people experiencing unemployment. You can't gurn about "the benefits bill" and then cut the tripe out of the very employers expected to employ them whilst removing policy interventions on early years & support. Honestly, this place is a mess but the reasons why and how to fix it are not rocket science. Yet, here we are.

This is obviously paid for by the times somehow and you should be investigated. An elected public official linking to paywalled content. Disgusting behaviour.

What is morally wrong are millionaires who are MPs who claim expenses to fund their lavish lifestyles. Especially when they could easily commute.😡

How much do you filch from the govt money to pay for your posh house? About £3000 a month I heard. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

During the pandemic your own party literally gave money away to the rich for fake PPE. Why haven't you got that money back yet????

Do you realise that the vast majority of the people in this country know that any of these barometers are off the back of YOUR disastrous tenure in Government… You keep flagging up the crap you caused! It’s hysterical…

Hmmm
You live a very lavish lifestyle on benefits. Why are your benefits not being cut? Are Tory MPs above others? Like during the pandemic when you locked us all down while you partied?
