The Prime Minister is pushing for smarter welfare reform, proposing to link benefits more closely to job engagement—not just cutting payments. He rejects blunt spending cuts, calling them “crude,” as PIP claims surge past four million—with costs set to hit £41 billion by 2030. While PIP supports those with disabilities, critics highlight teens with anxiety receiving more than minimum wage workers. Last year’s PIP tightening by Keir Starmer sparked internal backlash. Now, the Prime Minister wants to revisit reforms, emphasizing workplace mental health support and arguing that 80s social housing sell-offs now drive up housing costs—suggesting new builds could cut long-term bills.
