Goodwin questioned why millions of working-age individuals on benefits aren't in employment.

Political commentator Matt Goodwin has responded to Robert Jenrick's latest speech where he set out his foreign and defence strategy.

Goodwin questioned why millions of working-age individuals on benefits aren't in employment.

He said: "Why aren't they back at work? How can we generate more revenue, grow our economy without creating this sort of welfare nanny state that we seem to?

"Pay them better and have better jobs out there for them instead relying on mass immigration. Dare I say it, I think that's a way forward."
