This year the Government plans to increase benefits spending by £18bn, taking the welfare budget to more than five times what the UK spends on defence annually.

That increase could pay for:
15 Royal Navy Frigates,
220 fighter jets, or,
250,000 more soldiers!

It’s time to cut the benefits bill and properly fund our brave armed forces.


Let me know your thoughts below via my ‘Snap Survey’ below.
