Welfare bill is spiralling under Sir Keir's watch
Daily Express
|August 13, 2025
LABOUR isn’t working. The grim truth is laid bare in horrifying figures that show there are more than one million more people on Universal Credit since Sir Keir Starmer’s party took power.
-
The number of claimants has spiralled from 6.9 million when Sir Keir and Rachel Reeves moved into Downing Street to eight million last month — more than the population of New York or Hong Kong.
Behind this figure are stories of hardship, disappointment, thwarted potential - and a bureaucracy which is too ready to write people off.
The surge in claimants stems from a massive 39% increase in people not required to work.
