The welfare bill approved to support people through Covid is like nothing this country has spent since WW2. The support has been extraordinary. And you know it. Our kids will be paying for it their whole lives - we borrowed 21,000 million pounds last month alone.

Are you absolutely sure that welfare hasn't risen even when taking account of inflation?

Of course Welfare has risen it rises every year Covid will create unemployment as companies seek to cut back to make up for those loses.

Thankfully the Furlough scheme has reduced that risk but in all reality it was a welfare support scheme to protect jobs as was the £20 rise in Universal Credit,school meals,business support, cut in VAT etc etc

To say Welfare has risen is madness you are right to challenge the perception it hasn't risen , it rose by 400 billion the cost of Covid .
