Keir Starmer's jobs plan won't work because Labour are ducking tough welfare decisions, Tories claim UK politics live
Briefly

"Our reforms put an end to the culture of blaming and shaming people who for too long haven't been getting the support they need to get back to work," said Keir Starmer, emphasizing a shift towards support-driven initiatives.
Starmer criticized the past government's record: "From the broken NHS, flatlining economy, and the millions of people left unemployed and trapped in an inactivity spiral..." highlighting the dire situation inherited by the current government.
"We’re overhauling jobcentres to make them fit for the modern age. We’re giving young people the skills and opportunities they need to prepare them for the jobs of the future," outlining proactive measures in the white paper.
The history of welfare reform is littered with announcements that don't quite live up to the biggest in a generation hype, suggesting skepticism about the reforms' effectiveness.
