Welfare Spending Spirals Out Of Control

Labour has been accused of letting the welfare budget spiral out of control after new data revealed foreign nationals and migrant families took home a record-breaking £12 billion in Universal Credit claims. According to Department for Work and Pensions figures highlighted by GB News, the staggering scale of payments has sparked fierce political backlash.

Gareth Davies, the Shadow Financial Secretary to the Treasury, launched a scathing attack on the Government following the release of the figures. Speaking to GB News, Davies declared that ordinary Britons across the country will be deeply outraged by the data, which highlights massive public expenditure heading to foreign nationals.
