The government’s eyeing a major welfare overhaul, targeting teen sickness benefit recipients who earn more than minimum wage workers—up to £100 a week—part of a £333 billion budget squeeze. Young people not engaging in training or volunteering risk losing payments, echoing Dutch-style reforms that could please voters but spark internal party tensions, especially with the left. Critics recall last year’s rocky welfare debate, while the focus now also turns to property tax reform—flat-rate or land-based models—to tackle perceived unfairness. Meanwhile, defense spending is set to jump by nearly £5 billion, with one key figure warning they’ll resign if it doesn’t happen.
