The Tories and Labour have turned Britain right into a meals financial institution for the world on the expense of our personal folks. As an alternative of supporting Brits, successive governments have as a substitute spent billions supporting migrants.
There are not any higher examples than the newest “Boriswave”, the place former prime minister Boris Johnson, regardless of his robust rhetoric on immigration, betrayed the voters and welcomed document numbers of migrants into this nation.
About 3.8 million new folks arrived in Britain on long-term visas, and estimates recommend that at the least 800,00 will likely be granted indefinite depart to stay, giving them unfettered entry to Britain’s welfare system to the tune of £234billion to the general public purse. About half of those won’t ever be in work, taking from their host nation and contributing nothing in return.
The welfare system is already bloated. Of the staggering £266billion we spend on welfare, £9billion went to international nationals. Each one in six folks on Common Credit score is a international nationwide.
This entire con of our system should finish. Solely Reform will handle this head-on by slashing the welfare invoice. The plan we have now introduced, which is able to save British taxpayers £230billion, is only the start.
Lee Anderson is Reform’s welfare spokesman and the MP for Ashfield
