There is no need for a moral panic about the UK's welfare system.

Far from perfect but recent discourse is nuts

Keir Starmer calling Kemi Badenoch's bluff over the China spy case in PMQs: she's made serious allegations, govt clearly thinks she can't stand them up, & so far the vibe is fairly 'person on X who doesn't know the law, arguing with a lawyer'

Badenoch: Cheese or ham?

Starmer: Cheese

Badenoch: Ahhh, but is it cheese or ham? I smell a stitch-up!?

Starmer: Cheese.

Badenoch: But which is it?

Starmer: Cheese

Badenoch: At last, an answer. But I'm still unclear?

Starmer: Cheese
