Helen Whately: “We believe that if you can work, you should. And work should always pay better than benefits.”

Our welfare system should be a safety net, not a lifestyle choice.

Labour has lost control of immigration and lost control of the welfare bill, and it is British families picking up the bill and sitting on waiting lists.

Too many young people are leaving school and signing straight onto benefits - this is a waste of their potential and a disaster for our economy.

Making Britain your home should be earned by working, paying tax and integrating.
