This week, listening to podcasts, I heard Rory Stewart on The Rest is Politics, and The Newsagents talk about welfare reform.
I agree it needs to be reformed. Most people on it need it, but there are a minority who abuse the system.
But there are several issues to bear in mind when it comes to improving the system.
Rates of poverty for those who are working is too high.
Too many people are forced to have to use foodbanks.
The development of AI is going to make it harder to get jobs.
Any change, which is needed, with the benefits system should not make it harder for people in the UK considering how bad things are now.
