Britain can’t be a strong country with a broken welfare state.
We’re spending £183 billion on working-age welfare and that will cost each working household £50,000 in tax over this Parliament.
We cannot go on like this.
It’s unfair on taxpayers footing the bill and it means we’re missing out on the productivity of millions of people.
That’s leaving us with a weaker economy. Higher taxes, more borrowing and more debt. Crucially, we’re less able to invest in defence.
That’s why today, we’re publishing Our Conservative Plan for Welfare to set out exactly how we’ll save £36 billion from the welfare bill when we enter office.
