Devastating economic and employment figures prove Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are sucking the life out of Britain.
They said Labour would be the party of working people.
Wrong: One million more people have been signed off work, on benefits, with no need to ever look for a job under Labour.
There are now 3.7m people in Britain who have guaranteed benefits for life and never have to get a job. They've been written off.

And the number of people who have to look for a job as a condition of receiving their benefits fell from 1.65 million to 1.6 million Labour's first year in office.
Total health and disability benefits bill to hit £100bn in 5 years' time. A lot of people need benefits, but I think there's something bigger going on here.
The number of 55 to 59-year-olds claiming benefits with no work requirements climbed by 64 per cent in the last year. 64 per cent since Labour won the election.
I think I know why. They're looking at the country now and they've given up.
Rachel Reeves's tax changes have proven to be controversial | PA
They look around and see illegal immigrants getting everything for free, they see the place they grew up is unrecognisable, they barely hear English when they walk around on the street, they've worked hard and paid tax all their lives and yet when they go to the shops now all they see is people nicking food from the aisles and legging it.
Their neighbours have got a brand new car on the motobility scheme, there's no room for their grandchildren at the local primary school. And then they're being asked to work harder and pay more tax!
And they've said: No. I'm out. Sign me on for life, I give up.
The number of 45-49-year-olds signed off for life with no need to look for work rose by 58 per cent in the last year as well.
But this is what I think is really unforgivable...
Look at the drop in payrolled employees since Labour came to power.
The number of people in work has dropped by 164,000, but there are also fewer job vacancies being advertised. There are fewer jobs under Labour.
And it's affecting YOUNG people. Payrolled employment for under-18s is down almost 59,000 on the year, with 18 to 24-year-olds down 43,000.
The drop for those aged between 25 and 34 is a staggering 106,000 over the period.
Under Labour we've got: Job Opportunities - DOWN
People in work - DOWN
Lifetime on benefits - UP
The cynic in me would say this is what socialists want - a nation of people dependent on the state.
We need to have aspiration in Britain. People need to feel like they can have a go, take a punt, and get on in their life, be upwardly mobile. We need to be a nation of go-getters. Labour is sucking that out of us.
