Six million people is greater than the population of Norway. But that’s how many British people of working age are claiming benefits instead of working, so said Kemi Badenoch at a press conference this morning about how to “get Britain working”.
With more workless households than the population of Estonia (1.4m), and one in four people now self-reporting as disabled, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley ask how Britain became one big welfare state, explain why Labour’s workers rights bill isn’t going to help, and look at whether the Conservatives’ promise to review the whole work and welfare system will be enough.

Reform’s Nigel Farage is having one of those weeks, with more headlines, more scrutiny, and yet more bad press.
Camilla and Tim unpack The Telegraph’s exclusive investigation into alleged election fraud with our associate political editor Tony Diver, after claims the Reform party overspent during the Clacton campaign.
And as Prince Harry secures a review of the decision to remove his automatic armed police protection, we explain the latest developments in his legal battle, the current “bespoke” security arrangements, and why renewed attention on Meghan Markle’s estranged father may be a sideshow to the real story.

The BBC is facing mounting accusations that it has failed to report impartially on transgender issues.
A formal complaint has been sent to Ofcom by the Bayswater Support Group, which represents hundreds of parents who believe the broadcaster has promoted one-sided coverage of sex and gender. The group accuses senior editors of failing to reflect dissenting views, glossing over safeguarding concerns, and presenting gender identity as an uncontested fact.
Camilla and Tim Stanley are joined by parents of two young people who socially transitioned as teenagers. They describe how their children’s gender identities were affirmed at school during the Covid pandemic - in some cases without parental knowledge - and the lasting impact it has had on their families as the relationship with their children broke down.
They also discusses leaked allegations that the BBC’s coverage has been subject to internal censorship, alongside examples cited by critics - from reporting on puberty blockers to children’s television and drama - and the corporation’s response to claims of bias.

Is the Royal family value for money, or are they ripping us off? The Parliamentary public affairs committee announced that it will hold an inquiry into the properties and land owned by the monarchy, following the responses it received to questions about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s peppercorn rent at Royal Lodge. As if that wasn’t enough, David Dimbleby has them in his sights in a new three-part BBC documentary titled “What’s the Monarchy For?”
Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined in the studio by former Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker, whose new book ‘Royal Mint, National Debt’ rails against the huge increase in support to the Royals from the public purse, despite their vast private wealth and income streams, and without the transparency to go with it.
Camilla and Tim also review Meghan Markle’s new Christmas show. And a warning, it’s not pretty.
