LIB DEMS BRIGHTER FUTURE CAMPAIGN - 24 DAYS TO POLLING DAY

Lib Dems commit £6 billion per year to strengthen welfare system

The Liberal Democrats have announced bold proposals to invest £6 billion per year to strengthen the welfare system over the next Parliament.
This forms part of the party's ambitious plans to build a brighter future.

  • Tory austerity has left a fifth of UK citizens in poverty, unable to afford even the most basic essentials.

  • The Liberal Democrats will tackle this crisis by committing £6 billion per year to strengthen the welfare system over the next Parliament. Liberal Democrat proposals will prioritise tackling child poverty by abolishing the cruel two-child limit for Universal Credit and ending the unfair benefits cap.

  • A Liberal Democrat government will make work pay and tackle in-work poverty, by using part of the Remain bonus - the £50 billion of extra funding that would be generated by stopping Brexit - to restore Work Allowances and introduce a second-earner Work Allowance.

  • A Liberal Democrat government will also invest in boosting the Local Housing Allowance by linking it to average rents in each area.

  • Liberal Democrat plans to strengthen the UK's welfare system will protect the most vulnerable and help to build a brighter future.
