You walk around in a slumber most of the time,

I'm involved in education on the east side of London.

who were studying to be care workers on a college course.

They were coming to the end of their course.

decided that they should be actively seeking work.

Naturally, this started to intrude in their studies.

They gave up, they left their course, they didn't get the qualifications.

because they didn't become the care workers they dreamed of:

put their families on different trajectories...

We needed them to get those qualifications.

Then, I started to piece things together.

Over a million people getting emergency food packages per year.

received sanctions from the benefit office?

The same year we convicted 220 tax evaders.

That says something very big about our priorities as a society.

This week, we've heard about one of our major sports retailers,

If there are doctors, lawyers, and accountants in the audience,

People predict that the age of insecurity is coming.

a system of tax, of benefits, of tax credits,

that is so convoluted, so intrusive, so complex, so difficult, so coercive,

We should be pushing back against the insecurity:

We're spending tens of billions of pounds

on what is basically a patched up, broken system,

a system that leaves 37 percent of children in Birmingham

That's the system that we have created, we as a society have created.
