Anyone for a shared society?
Some snippets from yesterday’s papers in advance of Teresa May’s ‘shared society’ speech later:
- Previous administrations have focused too narrowly on the very poorest through the welfare system: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38545674
- Prime Minister hints at a willingness to scale back pensioner benefits: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/07/theresa-may-unveils-plans-create-shared-society-reform-vision/
- Prime Minister to outline new plans for govt to step up above & beyond the remit of the traditional welfare state: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/07/theresa-may-unveils-plans-create-shared-society-reform-vision/
