"Labour wants to make changes to the Work Capability Assessment to ensure a proper plan to support disabled people into work, alongside initiatives to make sure every young person aged 18 to 21 is either earning or learning."
"Economic inactivity has spiraled post-pandemic, affecting 9.3 million people, with new statistics revealing that 1.8 million inactive people, including the long-term sick, want to return to work."
"Kendall labeled the new statistics a shocking indictment of the inheritance left by the Conservatives, highlighting the urgent need for reform in the welfare system."
