Tories lay out plan to save £36bn by cutting mental health support and reinstating two-child benefit cap

Housing benefit and payments to people suffering from mild mental health and physical conditions would be slashed under Tory plans to cut more than £36 billion from Britain's ballooning benefits bill, the party has said.

The Conservatives would also reinstate the two-child benefit cap under the proposals.

Britain's £333.8 billion welfare bill is "more than the entire GDP of Ukraine", Tory leader told a press conference in Westminster on Tuesday.

She added: "The current system is unsustainable."
