Benefit payments

Is the UK economy strong enough to bear the costs of the Benefits system and are such benefits being given only to those that genuinely need them  and deserve them because they are making or have in the past made contributions to fund the system ?Starmer and Reeves say the economy is booming so we should be alright, but 8 million on the dole......?https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/foreign-national-benefits-figures-are-absolute-insanity-fumes-lowe/'The Department for Work and Pensions revealed on Tuesday that the number of people receiving Universal Credit has soared within Labour’s first year by over a million.The DWP also acknowledged that over a million recipients are foreign nationals – in the first time the immigration status of benefit claimants has been published.7.9 million people are currently on the dole. That’s a 16 per cent increase from the 6.8 million in the dying days of the last government, with the vast majority (6.6 million) British and Irish nationals. But that’s not all: Liz Kendall’s department also acknowledged that over a million of those recipients are foreign nationals. This marks the first time the government has published figures on the immigration status of benefit claimants, which onetime Reform MP Rupert Lowe has insisted the development is a ‘huge win’ after having pushed for the move.Now that they have been revealed, Lowe described the numbers as ‘absolute insanity’ – while his new political group, Restore Britain, slammed the revelation as ‘unaffordable, unsustainable, unacceptable’. His comments come as support for his tough talk on illegal migration picks up, with a 17th MP – Tory politician Sir John Hayes – having added his name to Lowe’s motion for the mass deportation of illegal migrants from Britain'.

100's Of Asylum Seekers Charged With Serious Crimes

Reported in The Sun today: Hundreds of asylum seekers living in tax-funded hotels have been charged with crimes such as rape, robbery & GBHIt is the first time the scale of criminal activity committed by those living in the controversial hotels has been brought to light. We monitored courts across the country for the first six months of the year and noted defendants who gave their address as one of 105 known asylum hotels. The true number of crimes could be even higher as the Home Office has refused to publish a list of all 210 in the UK currently being used to house 32,000 asylum seekers. Of the court cases we monitored, 29 related to sexual crimes — including seven alleged rapes, one proven incident of exposure and one of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child. A further 64 violence-related offences were recorded, including common assault, GBH, ABH, ­possessing a knife and possessing an imitation firearm. Yesterday at least five asylum seekers who had been staying at hotels appeared in court on charges including sexual assault, assault by beating and theft. And a Libyan asylum-seeker ­living at a Home Office hotel yesterday admitted threatening a member of staff with a knife, at Bournemouth crown court.https://apple.news/AoUWmfDboS_yLcfpIXMbB0AIf found guilty two things MUST happen - Detain and Deport!  Immediately!!No excuses from Starmer's slimy human rights pals who will invent all kinds of spurious claims to keep the gravy-train rolling!  End of!
