We ask the Government to review welfare policies to ensure they incentivise employment and do not increase the tax burden on working people. We believe current changes risk discouraging work and increasing unfair pressure on taxpayers.

Put time limits on claiming housing & welfare benefits and require job-seeking
Introduce time limits on claiming combined housing subsidies, council tax support and Universal Credit for all able-bodied working-age adults. Require active job-seeking and skills development for all able-bodied working-age adults who claim housing and welfare benefits.
Concerns about welfare support provision
A resident expresses concern about financial support and accommodation provided to an individual, questioning the appropriateness of the assistance.
Require able-to-work benefit claimants to participate in community work schemes
Require all benefit claimants who are able to work to participate in mandatory local community work schemes. We believe continued receipt of benefits should depend on regular participation in approved local tasks, with exemptions for disability, illness, caring responsibilities, or education.
Review overtime taxation to make it fairer for UK workers
Many work overtime out of financial need, to make ends meet and do not do it always by choice, as it can reduce family time. Fairer overtime taxation could support workers, encourage extra hours in essential sectors, and help overstretched teams.
Make Work Pay, Cut Economic Waste
The UK economy is held back by low productivity, regulatory friction, and a welfare system that doesn't clearly reward work over dependency. Reforming work incentives, reducing administrative burdens on SMEs, and cutting structural inefficiencies are essential to restore growth and improve living standards.
