They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Meet Nikki. Sheโs a mum in her fifties.
Since her job in a nursery became all too much, sheโs started receiving universal credit.
Without qualifications and, as she put it, being โno good at computersโ, she's struggling to find another job.
But thatโs not why she came to speak to us.
Her real worry was her son, Jack, who signed on the moment he turned 18.
He's got autism and ADHD, but Nikki wants him to work.
She's frustrated the state is paying him money to stay at home. She desperately wants the job centre to get on his case.
But thereโs no sign of that.
So, Jack is literally left to his own devices, gaming in his bedroom most of the time.
Who would want that life for their child?
Stories like Jack's are increasingly common.
Itโs a disaster.
Hundreds of thousands of young people are setting out on a life on benefits.
Only the Conservatives have a detailed plan to put an end to this and help young people into work. Weโll halve National Insurance for employers hiring 21 to 24-year-olds, create 100,000 more apprenticeships, and introduce a Get to Work programme to stop young people going straight from education onto benefits.
Britain cannot keep spending more on welfare while working people pay more in taxes.
The Conservatives have a plan to cut ยฃ36 billion from the welfare bill and get Britain working again.
Watch @KemiBadenoch set out our plan LIVE at 10:30am.
You woke up.
You had an overpriced coffee.
You had a long day at work.
Yet 1 in 6 people are sitting on benefits instead.
This costs your household an extra ยฃ9,708 in tax.
How is this fair?
You only need to look at Swinney's hysterical bluster and weasel words to see @HarrietCross_MP has him bang to rights.
You can celebrate a Sikh festival and Remembrance Sunday on the same day. But shouting "Bandi Chhor Divas!" during the 2 minute silence is cringe and disrespectful.
An SNP government so desperate to look inclusive, instead exposed its extraordinary cultural ignorance. Thousands of Sikh soldiers fought and died alongside British servicemen in two World Wars. Their sacrifice is part of our shared national history. Remembrance Sunday belongs to them too.
As people of every colour, faith and background fell silent to remember those who died for our freedom. The SNP govt's official account wanted to make it extremely clear to everyone that it had a different message to send.
What they posted at 11am was so naff, it might as well have said "Remembrance Sunday is for everyone else. You minorities can have your own little celebrations." to match the levels of extreme crassness and condescension.
Ethnic minorities don't need the SNP's performative gestures or patronising crumbs.
This is the poisonous consequence of politicians who see people as separate groups to be managed and patronised, rather than fellow citizens united by a common country and shared traditions.
The SNP talks endlessly about inclusion while displaying a remarkable inability to understand what actually unites us.
John Swinney laid a wreath on Sunday. Good. Now he should explain how the Government he leads managed to get this so spectacularly wrong.
