Every meeting I have is 'who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others'. They're asking the wrong questions.
I don’t think you can or should do welfare reform just by saying ‘here’s a sum of money we’ve got to save’, and then you graft on the policy afterwards.
The UK labour market is in a robust position but there has been a long-term challenge for young people.
