He argues that long-term benefits claimants who are fit to work should provide 20 hours of work each week for their local community, while also backing the principle of \u201cno British citizenship, no entitlement.\u201d He also discusses the history of the welfare state and why he believes the original social contract described by William Beveridge has been broken.<\/p>\n<p>Jenrick also takes aim at the Conservatives\u2019 welfare proposals, accusing Kemi Badenoch and Mel Stride of offering \u201cpaper-thin ideas\u201d and arguing that only major reform can address the scale of the problem. GB News Chief Political Correspondent Katherine Forster also challenges Jenrick over the practicalities of Reform UK\u2019s plans, including whether Brexit arrangements would have to be renegotiated to deliver the proposed changes. <\/p>\n<p>#breaking  #reformuk  #robertjenrick  <\/p>\n<p>Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS<\/p>\n<p>Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com\/friend<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2018Moral and economic CATASTROPHE!\u2019 | Reform UK\u2019s Robert Jenrick BLASTS benefits Britain Reform UK Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78339,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[417],"tags":[473,4749,64402,236,41593,442,471,472,2368,44315,31,474,326,247,64004,325,4040,475,333,3870,279,235],"class_list":["post-78338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gb-news","tag-analysis","tag-benefits","tag-benefits-britain","tag-breaking-news","tag-foreign-nationals","tag-gb-news","tag-gb-news-live","tag-gbn","tag-kemi-badenoch","tag-mel-stride","tag-news","tag-news-update","tag-nigel-farage","tag-politics","tag-reform-latest","tag-reform-uk","tag-reform-uk-latest","tag-reports","tag-richard-tice","tag-robert-jenrick","tag-uk","tag-world-news"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@videos\/117110680167187339","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
