Yes Lizzie I saw that interview. I think you will agree, the money given to those addicted to drugs and alcohol would be much better spent on treatment programmes.

If someone is overweight and this prevents them from working, send them to see a dietician. These conditions need help, treatment and support, not a pay cheque. It was Labour that actually introduced the benefits review.

I would like to see the Social Security budget increased to help those with disabilities. I agree with his comments this morning.

All parties agree, that Social Security benefits has become one of the biggest issues on the doorstep due to abuse.

Here is an interesting story in today's Daily Mail.
