They said it - “fair and compassionate”. I can only assume they use a different dictionary to me.
Alongside the paper, Mr Stride also addressed the Commons, saying: “This government’s priority is to make sure that our welfare system is fair and compassionate. Fair on the taxpayer, by ensuring that people of working age who can work, do work, and fair on those who are in most need of the state’s help.”

The problem with vouchers is they can only be used in limited places. What we need is some kind of universal voucher that can be used anywhere to be exchanged for goods and services. Maybe we could put a monarch's head on one side and some sort of famous scientist on the other or something. It needs a name that says you can use it all around, something that gives and impression of usage both round the corner and round the supermarket. some word that sounds like round maybe

Why don’t we just adopt the leaf as currency? There’s millions of them and they grow on trees.

It seems like it would be quick and convenient to use - quick as a flash, perhaps? Also, it’s quite funny they’d not thought of this universal voucher system, it sounds like a winner! I wonder if the universal voucher could have alternate names too, rhyming with “flash” or “funny”?
