## Resource

Jeremy Kyle reacts as Burnham plans conditional youth sickness benefits, linking payments to training or volunteering while seeking welfare savings for defence and care. Meanwhile, nearly 75,000 teenage jobs have disappeared under Labour, as rising employment costs squeeze traditional Saturday shifts. Electoral reform also enters the agenda, with compulsory voting, ten-pound fines and a ‘none of the above’ option proposed.
