That's why we need a different approach [to welfare] founded on three principles.
First, people must be better off in work than living on benefits. We would make work pay by... supporting employers who pay the living wage. Second, we would match rights with responsibilities. We would ensure that no adult will be able to be live on the dole for over two years and no young person for over a year. They will be offered a real job with real training, real prospects and real responsibility...
Third, we must do more to strengthen the old principle of contribution: there are lots of people right now who feel they pay an awful lot more in than they ever get back. That should change. We should start by letting councils give priority in social housing allocations to those who work and contribute to their community.
We believe Britain can only overcome the enormous challenges we face if all of us – from top to bottom – play our part.

Have they ever been seen in the same room together?
B, they have their heads shaved by the same barber.
God shaves their heads, but he leaves the sides, mister wiseass. Who got this reference?
"a real job with real training, real prospects and real responsibility"
It's that word "real" again. Maybe they've all been on a course.
FFS!
"We would ensure that no adult will be able to be live on the dole for over two years and no young person for over a year."
What happens when your time is up? Starvation on the streets?
