What do you think the proposed changes to the Department for Work and Pensions made this week?

In theory, yes, I think it's a good idea. We need to get a lot more young people into training and get people into the careers and industry. What we used to have used to produce a lot in this country and manufacture a lot. Unfortunately, that went by the wayside in the seventies. I think it's a good idea on paper and on principle. How much it's going to cost and how the government implement it could come at a cost to other things. It could come at a cost to us disabled people as well, that would be forced into other sanctions or being forced into work that we're not physically able to or capable of doing because someone in an office believes we can. But ideally, yes, more apprenticeships and internships for younger people going forward should get the country back on its feet. Hopefully.
