Both Tory candidates to be Prime Minister have threatened a crackdown on benefit claimants - with Rishi Sunak warning he will be “much tougher”.
Multi-millionaire Mr Sunak said he will tear up rules that put Universal Credit claimants on a ‘light touch’ work search if they work more than nine hours a week.
“If there are hours to do, if there’s a job going, people should have to take the job, as opposed to just being able to stay on benefits”, he claimed.
