Conservative commitments - 31, 25 failures



Requiring EU jobseekers who have not found a job within six months to leave
They have to support themselves (previous policies have removed their benefits) and we want them to leave? Why would we do that? If we were supporting them, that would make sense: if there’s no work for their skills, we’re not going to pay them forever. But if they’re bringing money into the country by supporting themselves, why would we have a problem? If we accept the previous policy, we ought to reject this one and vice versa. This policy is therefore a failure.
