Helen Whately: “Making Britain your home should be earned by working, paying tax and integrating.”

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.

The next Conservative government will make foreign nationals ineligible for social housing. Nearly 230,000 homes could go to British families.

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.
