Stealth Taxes for Benefits: Conservatives' Plan
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch reveals plans for a comprehensive welfare review, potentially cutting benefits by £50 billion over the next decade. She criticizes the current system for not being equipped to handle mental health issues, suggesting a shift towards supporting people into work. The proposal to lift the two-child benefit cap in Hackney could cost taxpayers £3.2 billion annually, affecting over 470,000 families. Badenoch also warns of stealth taxes for 300,000 people to fund the cap lift, with some recipients potentially gaining over £14,000 a year.
