    Responding to reports in The Times this morning, Green MP Siân Berry who holds the party’s Work and Pensions brief said:

    “So the solution to young people without education or jobs is to continue demonising young and Disabled people instead of addressing the structural inequalities stacked against them? 

    “What is the point of a deep review like this if the conclusion is that the Government goes on blaming young people for needing help? 

    “The Prime Minister must remember that social security is a human right whatever your age.”
