Benefit fraudsters could be banned from driving and subject to bank account snooping if they fail to pay back the taxpayer, under a new government crackdown.

There should have been a real crackdown the last time Labour were in government.

Fraud was rife during Labour last government and it was political points scoring not to go after it.

The condoms were the bigger person in all affairs. There was no need to.

Any links verifying that benefit fraud was higher under Labour than the Tories?

I wasn't comparing. I was just pointing out fraud was high when the last labour government was in power. I don't have links.

I found this funny...

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

To be fair you could do it, it's just not really AI. I would be surprised if they're not already doing it.

It would be similar to how banks look for fraud. You look for suspicious patterns. It just depends on what they're scanning.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

How does banning them from driving help prevent benefit fraud ?

They would likely ignore the ban anyway, but I still dont quite see the point.

So you don’t have any proof of it, but you know it’s true?

Have I got that right?

I can't find any links that far back. They did lose the plot with public finances. It was being exploited at every opportunity.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

In 2010, when labour were ousted, it was estimated to be £1 Billion, last year it was estimated to be £7.4 Billion.

All relative. The cost of covid fraud was more than that (£10.5 billion), most of it to Bozzas pals.
https://hansard.parliament.uk/Common...20commissioner

Or the £23 billion of benefits unclaimed. https://policyinpractice.co.uk/missi...med-each-year/
What proactive action are the Govt taking about that?
