'TOTAL STATE FAILURE!’ - True scale of Britain’s welfare crisis laid bare as failings exposed

Times columnist Fraser Nelson joins Katherine Forster, GB News Chief Political Correspondent, on Chopper’s Political Podcast to discuss the UK’s welfare system and the challenges facing policymakers as they consider reform.

The conversation explores the rising number of people claiming sickness and disability benefits, the financial incentives facing people returning to work, delays in benefit reassessments and the impact of the pandemic.

They also discuss the political challenges facing Labour, the future of welfare reform, immigration and the pressures on Britain’s labour market. Fraser shares his perspective on why the current system may be discouraging some people from working and what changes could help more people into employment, while addressing the wider economic and social implications of reform.
