We inherited a fundamentally broken welfare system from the previous government.


It does not work for the people it is supposed to support, businesses who need workers or taxpayers who foot the bill.


This government will always protect the most severely disabled people to live with dignity. But we’re not prepared to stand back and do nothing while millions of people — especially young people — who have potential to work and live independent lives, instead become trapped out of work and abandoned by the system. It would be morally bankrupt to let their life chances waste away.


When I talk about opportunity for all, I mean it.


That’s why we are bringing forward the biggest changes to the welfare system in a generation and improving support for those who need it.
