Starmer says Reform’s pledge to restore two-child benefit cap in full is ‘shameful’ – UK politics live

Reform UK's Robert Jenrick has announced party's plans to cut welfare spending

Robert Jenrick, Reform UK's Treasury spokesperson, is giving his speech now.

He has announced, or confirmed, three measures to cut welfare spending.

The number claiming disability benefits for an attention disorder has more than doubled since Covid. We all know a significant number of these claims are spurious ...

We will stop those with mild anxiety, depression, and similar conditions from claiming disability benefits and instead encourage them into the dignity of work.

We will end the abuse of the Motability scheme, where expensive cars are handed out for conditions like tennis elbow, and paid for by working people who can't afford them themselves.
