"HUGE Waste Of Human Potential" - Failures Of The State SLAMMED As Benefits Hotspots Revealed | TalkTV

“This is a huge waste of human potential. It’s either a failure of the welfare state or a failure of the healthcare system”.

Reem Ibrahim reacts to news that one in five people in the working-age population are claiming out-of-work benefits in Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester. New Government figures have revealed a startling truth about the state of unemployment in several cities across the UK. Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Blackpool are all facing alarmingly high numbers of people on out-of-work benefits.

In Blackpool, a city known for its economic challenges, a staggering 25% of the working-age population is reliant on these benefits. This represents a significant waste of human potential and raises questions about the effectiveness of the welfare state and healthcare system. With millions of people across the country on out-of-work benefits, urgent action is needed to address this issue.
