A YEAR into the Labour government and the number of people claiming out of work sickness benefit has gone up by 50 per cent to 3,000 every single day.
The system is being gamed.

People are now claiming benefits for acne. “Sickfluencers” on social media are advising followers how to claim cash by calling up and saying they’re too anxious to get assessed.
Instead of a safety net we’ve ended up with a racket.
Keir Starmer can’t control his own MPs, who won’t back welfare savings. And the bill is spiralling, set to overtake defence spending by 2030.
Labour’s response to this mess will inevitably be tax rises. They’ve already hiked National Insurance, now we can expect record council tax rises and hikes to fuel and alcohol duty.
And Reform are certainly not the answer. They want even more spending, which means even higher taxes.
Only the Conservatives have a plan to fix our broken system. Our plans will get people back to work and focus on the truly disabled.
We’ll stand up for Sun readers, for taxpayers, for the grafters and the people who play by the rules.
It’s time to get a grip. It’s time for common sense.
