Tories pledge to slash £36 billion from UK welfare bill
The Conservatives are publishing measures to cut £36 billion from the UK welfare bill, with Kemi Badenoch set to tell the party's conference that the budget is "more than the entire GDP of Ukraine" and "crushing our economy". Their claims include £13.7 billion from reforming sickness and disability allowances, £9.5 billion from barring foreign nationals without EU settled status, £3.1 billion from reimposing the two-child benefit cap, which Labour dismantled the year before.
