And the £1 billion extra employment support results in 20,000 to 40,000 people getting into work by 2029/30. This is more pessimistic than our estimates at the time (45,000-95,000), which @learnworkuk.bsky.social produced for us: 3/3 learningandwork.org.uk/resources/re...

Cutting Universal Credit's health element means 750,000 new claimants by 2029/30 missing out on ~£3,000 a year, but OBR says this will lead to only a 26,000 rise in employment. That’s just 3% of people hit by this deep cut, with most simply being pulled into deeper hardship. 2/3

How much do we spend on welfare?
Total welfare spending in Britain in 2025-26 is estimated to be 10.8 per cent of GDP – just 0.8 per cent of GDP higher than 2007-08.
Since 2012-13, total welfare spending has actually fallen by 1.2 per cent of GDP.

Isn't it paid for with the Mobility rate of PIP per month regardless of the type of vehicle? So it won't even make any practical difference, it's whatever the gammon version of virtue signalling is.
