""We're the only party that gets it. The only party that will stand up for fiscal responsibility. We must get on top of government spending. We cannot deliver stability unless we live within our means. A fairer system also means ensuring that only British citizens can access welfare - because citizenship should mean something. When we deliver the urgent change that is needed to stop young people going straight from school to a life on benefits, we will use those reforms to fund tax cuts which are laser-focused on aspiring young people. Helping people to buy a home, build a family, save for the future. That is the Conservative dream.""
""The Tories let welfare bills, civil service numbers and asylum hotel use skyrocket on their watch - and they've never apologised. Now they want to rehash failed promises from their failed manifesto to try to solve the problems they caused.""
Conservatives propose a £5,000 national insurance rebate for young first-time homebuyers and a £10,000 "first job bonus" for working couples, deposited into long-term savings accounts. Funding is to come from cuts to sickness benefits for people with mild mental health conditions and by banning around 500,000 non-citizens from claiming benefits. The party intends broader welfare and foreign aid spending cuts framed as fiscal responsibility and aims to use reforms to fund targeted tax cuts for young aspirants. Labour responded by blaming the Conservatives for rising welfare bills, civil service numbers, and asylum hotel use, and dismissed the proposals as recycled failed promises.
