- The Shadow work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall has told Sky News that "everyone that can work, should work".
It comes ahead of the chancellor's autumn statement, which is expected to include measures to get people with health problems into work from home, in order to reduce benefits expenditure.

Fix the housing crisis, Fix zero hours contracts, Make bosses pay actually liveable wages. Most people on benefits are in work but their pay does not stretch far enough.
If goods were cheaper we wouldn't need to pay more.
Exactly mate ur bang on the money , there must think it’s good wen people need to go on benefits , try an go to work for £10 an hour an see how long there last in a cost of living crisis, there all the same I done no why people even get sucked into voting at all
The housing crisis will never be fixed, that's a fact.
I'm 56, partially sighted and disabled, and nobody wants to hire me.
Wages are too low for part-time work.
Yes I agree
In order for disabled people to work there needs to be employers willing and able to hire and pay them. They never talk about that side of the equation.
because they don't care
because they don't care
Why isnt she in the Conservative party. She has basically said exactly what they said. What the hell is this "labour " party.. there is no difference! Can the real labour party please stand up.
Looking for work does not guarantee finding work. What would Labour do to those who fail to find work despite doing all they can to look for it ? I feel that whoever gets into power at the next general election it will be a return to the austerity policies that has already murdered more than a quarter of a million vulnerable people.
Hear! Hear!
Agree both parties are utter shiites
Nobody has told the establishment that austerity is only effective during times of economic boom, not during economic stagnation and decline. Tax revenues the government collects will decrease forcing them to borrow more money to cover public expenditures.
It is depressing to see Labour, in effect, doubling down on Tory plans to punish those with mental health challenges and/or physical disabilities by removing benefits from them if they don't work, or don't work from home. There is zero evidence to support the idea that there are sufficient jobs, specifically home based jobs, of the right type available, or that employers are actively looking to employ those with these health or disability difficulties.
Instead of focusing on the 'burden' of welfare expenditure, Labour should be proposing a wholesale reform of the tax code and a massive investment in the resources available to HMRC to pursue tax avoiders. This approach would bring in far more income for any future UK Govt. The cheese pairing approach to the welfare budget that Labour and the Tories are pursuing is likely to cost more money to administer than it will save.
And what about those who are genuinely too unwell to work?...
Disability in people with different forms could work from home part time,but nothing is available and some would like to work part time for women who have disability and raised or raising a family would like to work from home with a good wage. Some older people who have worked upto retirement, why should they be forced back to work,and not the younger ones who have left school and colleges and foreigners that just live on the state and take and take. Why are the DWP attacking retired and disabled and people with medical problems awaiting specialists being disrespectful to clients in person or on the phone? That is not being helpful, as that kind of attitude from DWP makes people's health condition worse by bringing stress which in some cases causing heart attacks and strokes.
It would make a change if some of our Politicians 'worked'.
They rich and got money falling out of their back pockets every day of the week,Thats why sit in their office farting about all the time and got no idea how the Country is heading too
People at the job centre are often stuck in limbo with either limited or no qualifications or experience, rather than force them to continue to look for jobs that either don't exist or they're unqualified for, let them go back to college or volunteer to get experience without punishing them by removing the money they need to live on, and leave sick people alone, it does nothing for their health to have the dwp breathing down their neck, let them decide for themselves when they're well enough to make steps to go back to work.
Grow up🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Plenty of job opportunities people just prefer to live on benefits

@@Rod732 That wasn't accurate 13 years ago, it wasn't accurate 25 years ago, it wasn't even accurate when first tried 40 years ago. It's not accurate now, so there's no policy derived from that fact-free nonsense that has the slightest chance of working.
Doesn't seem to stop useless politicians that believe it from trying it over and over again though, each time pretending they're trying something new that nobody has thought of before.
Attacking the poorest and most vulnerable once again why rampant corruption and tax evasion goes unpunished. How many mentally ill/Disabled/Carers will be pushed over the edge by these new polices and driven to suicide? Where is the compassion? Disgusting but expected behaviour from Tories. Labour jumping on the bandwagon though, trying to out tory the Tories is absolutely shameless.
They need to provide affordable housing that would be a good start
Affordable for whom?
People who earn under £50,000 a year.
the very start be getting rid of all the Migrants to stop them from stealing our Housing,Rather than English always coming last,Same goes on for all costs now days,I would like to see how much of the "cost of living" would for ever be falling down if all the Migrants cleared of,More Migrants come over here,They will steal our houses,Hotels,Every thing else they can get too,Cost of living will carry on rising,Leaving all the English to suffer with higher costs,Ive al ready had a tough year this year,The way its going,Only going to get worse as time moves on
Work brings dignity and self respect? In my experience it brings bullying and harassment. Work sucks 👎 This Lady seems nice but I doubt she's experienced any real hardship in her life to have such priveleged views. She herself pointed out there is no support. Her nicey nice attitude won't change that. More of the same. Going after the vulnerable.
dignity wont pay my bills !
Of course. Don't forget that the ATOS Work Capability Assessments and Employment Support Allowance were Labour innovations.
And was responsible for thousands of deaths
Another campaign by the Tories against the sick and disabled with their genocide by stealth policy and labour now as bad as the Tories.
And people still live under the illusion of labour and tories being polar opposites when in reality they're a uniparty
Government Spending is over 750 Billion Pounds, 2.2 Billion is spent on Unemployment, that is 0.3% of the 'Budget', a budget that is 5 Trillion Pounds in Dept, so Please Stop trying to blame the Unemployed.
Mean the point isn't really the money spent on unemployed but the economic loss from them no working, so what could be produced if they did work and in some cases a good job can help peoples health
@@TimesFM4532Finally, somebody who actually understands economics!!

Both totally removed from reality as never been in said situation. Your should not comment if don't have a clue about something . Know it all dumb bast#£ds!!!!!
Follow the Tory line just change the narrative just who defines who can actually work? A lot of disabilties are not visable and then there's location there are vast areas of Britain where there just are no jobs or the ones that are available people can not get to them because they have no transport or the transport links are virtually non exsistant. Working from home is a wonderful idea if that job can be done from home and as advanced as technology is the majority of industries still require humans to physically do them. Are there 2 million working from home jobs available? Kendle is just politely demonising those on benefits while conveintly forgetting that the majority of them have paid into the system for most of their lives perhaps the focus needs to be more on the ones that have not like the tax dodging rich and big coroporations they cost Britain way more than those that are on benefits. There are 4x as many benefit fraud investigators compared with tax fraud investigators its time that changed go after the real crooks.
I've worked for 30 years of my life and have had more countings on my fingers of jobs and just recently have found out that i have an illness and this could be long term this illness just didn't appear just like that this illness has developed over time and I'm not getting any better because of the medication that I'm on and i may have to change this medication for reasons of my health but over the years I've noticed things with getting jobs and yes I've been to so many places for work and yet have been turned down and in the last two years I've had the council say that there's no more jobs and I've also had a conversation with some one who I know and they say that this country doesn't make anything anymore so that's why there's a lot of people who are out of work.😊
I’m off to France and returning on a dingy as a much needed health worker!
That statement doesn't sound like Labour at all
Of course it does.
Don't forget that the ATOS Work Capability Assessments and Employment Support Allowance were Labour innovations.
It isn't Labour
We live in a one-party state and have done so for a while. Democracy is dead with the stupid FPTP system we have now.
Like ive comment so many times,Labour in Tory ties nearly as bad as Tories in blue ties
it's immoral requiring people to work
As a disabled person stuck at home in receipt of universal credit this is music to my ears. I’m desperate to work and would love the opportunity to be able to contribute to society. Unfortunately there just aren’t jobs willing to hire people who work completely remotely. Even the jobs that do have that option usually require a 6 month in office probation/training period.
In order for disabled people to work there needs to be employers willing and able to hire and pay them. They never talk about that side of the equation.
Exactly , it’s like the private landlords whom will take state benefits as rent . Just so minimum that it’s a joke or romance based on avoiding the big question of the “ privatisation of the NHS “ .
The sad thing is that genuinely vulnerable and or disabled people suffer most from these draconian measures and the people who play the system never get touched. I am sure a lot of the disabled people could of done with some of the money that went to Boris’s mates for PPE contracts. Also the illegal immigrants don’t have to fight the government for their 4 star hotel accommodation, free cigarette's or pocket money!
The rate of fraud in people claiming benefits is miniscule compared to other fraud, it's a drop in the ocean.
Agreed, definitely. Like I mentioned a couple of times in comments on this post, I am in the USA, but have many friends and relatives in the UK. We don’t have refugees/asylum-seekers house in the hotels over here. But, where it gets frustrating, is that if a disabled person is waiting for subsidized housing, which can be a vey long wait, that wait can be made even longer when someone from one of those countries comes in. After requesting asylum, that person will almost immediately declare that they have no place to live. They will be considered for emergency housing, which means they are leapfrogging to the front of the list to get housing That sometimes the disabled have been waiting for for years.
maybe fund the nhs if u want people healthy and working. pretty simple. my mental health has been shot since i was like 14 years old. cant remember the last time i felt genuine happiness. can i see anyone to help? no i cant. Failed a full generation an now they moan about it
I have had same since I can remember ages 6 ish I'm now 45 managed to string 10 years of solid work together in early 20s but was mentally vvvvery draining and I couldn't take anymore ..havent worked since and if I gave an honest CV in ..no one would employ me, I wouldn't employ me if looked at CV so how they expect me to get a job...... If I did get one like sone miracle I would now be unable to hold on to that job as lots of PTSD events over the years have made it hard for me to function normally ...I never know when I will be able to sleep now days so would ge incapable of working regular hours that any job would require me to commit to. That's just one of many issues and problems I face on daily basis
Feel like I'm due medical negligence payout from NHS ignoring me my whole life and not being diagnosed untill was 39 and that took going private and lots of relatives money to get that after 33 years of NHS repeatedly refusing to refer me even.....!!!
😂😂😂 this woman is a muppet 🙄
yep,She sounds a lot worse than Starmer 🤡 and complete🔔end
In short, the companies which Labour and Conservative MPs have investment in can't find enough people to exploit. Aww, poor them. Where are all the job offers from all these job vacancies? Both parties could threaten unemployed people with the firing squad if they wish, the decision as to whether a job seeker is offered a job is still made by companies, not the job seeker themselves.
Talk about "flogging the old horse" to death. These MP should focus on getting the young, strong and fit into well paid regular work. Not the old and sick!
So spend enough money on the NHS to allow people needing knee, elbow, shoulder surgery etc to go back to work. Spend enough on training so that people have the skills currently needed. Spend enough on public transport so that people can get to work. Quite simple really.
Jobs has to be available, also different family and health circumstances needs to be taken into account.
Your family doesn't concern me.

It's easy to harm people and leave them in poverty by trying to look good on the net
There aren't enough jobs that allow 2 million people to work from home. They already know that. I think targeting the poorly is disgusting.
Great. Only the UK doesn't have 2 billion people.
@@tastypymp1287 edited for typo.
So where do the jobs come from? 99% of people applying for that benefit removed or not acceptable, even when they one has cancer. No im not joking
Vote for Reform. Labour and conservatives are totally out of touch. This country is such a mess.Working people are living in hotels because they can’t afford homes. People are on nhs waiting lists for years because of the strain on services due to immigration. It’s always the poorest and most vulnerable hit the hardest.
Well work on deporting ¹⁰,⁰⁰⁰,⁰⁰⁰ then.
exactly
She sums this Government up..... Hateful !!!!!!?!
I have to say that I have never bought into this dignity and respect of work thing. I work for the money, pure and simple. There's certainly no dignity in poverty though.
Not having money worries goes a long way to easing one's 'mental health'
I have always been self employed, and, quite honestly, I don't do that many hours, but I do earn a very good living. This was my aim from when I started working, it wasn't for the 'dignity' of work.
I do think though, that the unemployed are expecting an easier ride from Labour, and it doesn't look like they will get it.
This debate is not exclusive to the UK, much the same is being said all across Europe, the States, Australia etc.
And that goes for all MPs too as so many don’t have regular surgeries let alone go into their constituencies and also don’t even attend parliament
So, what exactly do they do so apart from collecting their fat salaries, fat pensions and perks.
DWP should assess them first in their competence, performance and ability to work
Such hypocrites
Like that joke of an MP Nadine Dories.
@@brianevans2819 yes Brian she’s a good example and is now raking it in even more by being personality and presenter in TV and publishing a book 🤣
Kay Burley being tougher on the Opposition than she is on the actual government
So she’s spoken personally to two million people
so long as there are jobs yes
Work equals freedom - someone needs to tell my employer that 😮
So were back to the victorian idea of work as a basic virtue and therefore punishing those unable to as immoral.
Good mental health is directly related to work; we just need proper leadership to have policy reflect this
Is this a Tory playing dress up as a Labour MP? Absolutely shameful.
sounds a lot worse than the evil Torys
She be more better running the Tory party and leaving the Labour party this is why I never vote for Labour crap
Does that statement include MP'S too
Lol.
When people start working for livable wages that would give them dignity and respect...
Whatever Kay is ‘hearing from Labour’ is whatever The Conservative Party wants her to hear.
She seems to think her incessant facile badgering is the hallmark of a ‘tough interviewer’ rather than a significantly over- promoted one.
Can’t tell the difference between these two parties anymore but that’s the idea isn’t it!! Typical politicians deflection is everything!!!
What's the point in trying to get a mp to answer a simple question. If people. Vote for the conservative party must be insane if they have a disability
I’ve just watched the Tory saying exactly the same thing as the Labour minister!! Wow, what a choice at the next election same old same old
Vote reform party
If the Government stopped trying to turn this country into a pure service economy and returned to supporting manufacturing and industry, there would be a hell of a lot more jobs on offer.
The Tories seem fixated on this idea that the only workers that matter are office staff, then throw everyone else on a bonfire of ignorance. That attitude needs to be given the boot.
There are literally millions of highly skilled and experienced trade workers and labourers in this country, many of them out of work or being forced into jobs that do not suit their career experience whenever another site is closed down, but it's always the shirt-wearing office staff that seem to get all the attention and credit for filing paperwork and ticking boxes.
I ask this lady to consider putting people back into to Education and training! No support for people who want to go to university as a mature student. Its all about filling low paid jobs !
The job Centre is a Job creation scheme in itself , no one knows what their doing !
there's no jobs anyway ffs not that I want to work for the system anymore.
Everyone that can ignore politicians, should ignore politicians.
Easier to punch down on the poor.
Close the tax loop holes,off shore bank accounts and get the internet company's tax properly.
They have not got the minerals for that fight.
Reduce Income Tax, make wages and salaries more realistic instead of slaries lowering and wages stagnant, especially in northern England, and more people could work. But, why should people work 2 or 3 jobs just to pay Bill's and make basic ends meet when Tory and Labour govts keep taxing the working and poor classes?
The UK is drowning in debt e.g. 2.9 TRILLION pounds in debt
Don't forget your " right to work " documents 😅. No docs. No work
One of the main problems to get taxes down and more wages in our pockets,Thats to end Migrantion,Close the gates,Thats still costing more than those who fiddle with the Benefit system
Does this include the landed gentry?
Labour we will get 8.000 mental health workers, thousands off people can’t even get to see a mental health consultant.
A big problem woth the NHS is they are not trained in nutrition. How many people have bad joints because they are magnesium deficient? Drinking too much caffiene which blocks magnesium absorption????
Or can choose not to but not expect other people to subsidise them.
Nothing wrong with self funded early retirement, stay at home parents.
So if DWP declare somebody fit for work and that employee has a catastophic accident in the workplace caused by their disability and the job being unsuitable to their ability, does that mean the employee and emoloyer can sue the DWP? I can see this costing the governmet more money with claims and court cases wen things go wrong
I wonder how much sky pay’s MPs to be in there program
there are no jobs that people could live on some of these companies pay peanuts
What is the cost to the tax payers of the royal family and friends?
A tad hypocritical, these people are paid huge wages to look after the public but hey, they only turn up in Parliament when they feel like it, so shouldn't they be taking their own advice and get to work because they dont work half as much as they should do.
They should also keep their hands out of the bank of the taxpayer.
One of my friends who was a Period Dignity Officer within Dundee City Council used to work exclusively from home giving demonstrations on how to use a Tampon applicators and other Menstrual hygiene pads via MS Teams. Apparently he was sacked by the council for not allowing one to one demonstrations at his home and this severely affected his mental health. Working from home can also create mental and physical health problems as well. He now works in the local Primary Schools teaching the students how to Pole Dance. But at least he gets out and about now.
Well I would gladly work except I have long Covid which prevents me from waking up early in the morning to get dressed and go outside. So I’m stuck collecting benefits and playing video games all day inside my Council flat. Toodles suckers.
😂
No empathy at all.
Not if they have worked for 30 years and now see their taxes and NI going to waste. They are entitled to some of it back
does this apply to immigrants
Back to 2005 Tory-Labour have mostly same ideas. There’s no hope but vote for us.
I agree, 'Everyone that can work, should work' - all Billionaires should be put to work in the coal mines.
Dont conform to these people. Follow your own shoes
Universal Basic Income or bust
i agree
Many people work on the minimum wage for the economy and are unable to pay their rent, they end up at the food bank after a month of work.... The question is, we humans, why do we still work and for whom?
Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life: I had no idea she was a racist
so it should,Best try get as many people in to work as possible,Even if people got health problems can at least do some sort of hours work each week,Ive also got health problems as well,I also manage to work,Handing out tons of free Benefits to half the nation ant going to go no where,Look what happend last time,After 10 years of Labour,The Country went bankrupt,Not only that,Just imagine every one got out of work and all joined the Benefit system,The Country be closed,Every one would be on Benefits,No one left be paying any taxes,Then money run out,End up even worse bankrupt than ever,People have to work,Also what keeps the Country going well
900k jobs for 2.6 million and over a million unemployed make that work.
She sound conservative
Why should they work when people are given more money on benefits than working people? 😂
Really wasn’t my experience on the dole, got a big 300 a month, idk how anyone is meant to live on that.
Of course there is pointless work, work and then there is useful work. These two woman exemplify what pointless and irrelevant work looks like within the Media and Political Class by achieving absolutely nothing.
Tony Blair done this twenty five years ago
Everyone that can work should work [except those that can afford not to like those that inherit vast amounts of wealth with nery a dent in tax].
work is just for money, don't believe anyone who says otherwise
They keep talking about budget cuts, what about the 6 million pounds per day we spend on illigal migrants, lets fix that first befor we send people in wheel chairs to work, this country is disgusting.
labour wont get voted nore will conservative i think the reformer will win i hope so any way
It's just not as entertaining as US politics....
I agree with that one,Taxes are going sky higher,Just as well that the DWP are cracking down on PIP,Not every one is sick,Also a lot of people playing on it by fiddling the Benefit system,Well any one can easly walk in to the DWP and say,"I have mental Health Problems,Any way,Im still not voting for Labour,They also dont have a plan,Tories plan is better,Still not the full ticket,They still got a better Plan than Labourrrrrrrrrrr rubbish
That's the Northern Red Wall vote gone. And the female vote too. Both historically and statistically workshy.
That include illegal migrants
Get the illegal immigrants processed and registered. Then get them into work. That will save the tax payer Billions of pounds every year.
all irrelevant - we need to be thinking about the new industrial revolution and AI. Instead we are concentrating on old fashioned values and needs.
Except dinghy boys of course.
They are just like the cons but different colours they do not relate to everyday people!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
fix the imigration problem and leave the disabled alone
I like her optimism but to me this sounds like people who are not working just need a confidence boost .
She’s a puppet
People in the UK prefer handouts rather than working , it’s amazing single mum’s get priority on housing , get pregnant get a house. The UK has created a generation of scroungers . I am sick of paying for people on benefits.
What about the tax evading multi millionaires? What disabled and most vulnerable in society get help with is peanuts compared to them but all part of the plan let’s get the working class blaming the poor below them while giving more money to the wealthy at the top
Wa#£ker!!! U r
Try having the disabilities the people I know have, and then see the small amount of money that they get compared to working a minimum wage job and say that again. Stop blaming the poorest in society.
What an interesting slide back towards the centre ground. I guess Labour are aware that far left attitudes and policies just don't cut it at the ballot box.
'Arbeit macht frei' Classy Tories. Classy.
able bodied people on benfits should have to adhere to 5 day work week where they do work for the local council and earn their benefits with time between to apply for jobs. watch how snap up jobs then!
