Always struck by the Kemi commitment to "we will do the same thing again, but this time it will work because I'll be stricter." It's an opposition that is at war with its own time in Government.
Under current Universal Credit requirements, external, people have to sign a "claimant commitment" to prepare for and look for work or increase their earnings if they are already working - but the Tories claim their rules would be stricter.

The proposals were announced on Thursday ahead of the party's conference starting this weekend.
