## Summary

Kemi Badenoch said welfare spending is “crushing our economy” and pledged to remove sickness and disability benefits for people with lower-level mental health conditions, including ADHD. Her comments form the context for a reader poll asking what poses the biggest threat to Britain.

The article cites official figures putting annual working-age welfare spending at £180 billion, or about £500 million a day. It says this is more than the UK spends on defence, education and policing combined, and invites readers to vote, with poll results due in the next Morning Mail newsletter.
