In a stern address, the UK Prime Minister condemned the notion of claiming benefits as a 'lifestyle choice', pledging to tackle the rising welfare bill. With a focus on promoting employment and reducing dependency, the PM vowed to 'never tolerate voluntary worklessness'. This stance aims to encourage individuals to seek work and contribute to the economy, rather than relying on government support. By addressing welfare abuse, the government hopes to create a more sustainable social security system. Key initiatives will target job creation and skills training, helping to reduce the welfare bill and promote economic growth.
