The left may toast rate cuts, but no nation ever taxed and regulated its way to prosperity.
Too many Labour MPs still treat taxpayers like doting parents funding their next Snakebite. The tab’s run out — time to grow up.
More than 4million Universal Credit claimants now have no requirement to work - that's predominantly people who are sick along with students and those with caring responsibilities
The rise is extraordinary - it's gone up from from 2.896million in October 2024 to 4.027million in October 2025, a **39% rise** in the space of a year

@RichardBurgon Moreover, you cannot “make” the super rich do anything.
They are highly mobile. We must enhance our tax base through incentives. Not the politics of greed.
Again, your failure to grasp even the most basic of concepts speaks volumes to the acumen of your gov.
