Reports have highlighted initiatives like the “Economic Inactivity Trailblazer,” which is operated by the DWP and available only to certain ethnic groups. William Yarwood, campaigns director of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, condemned these programs as creating a “two-tier” system. Speaking to The Telegraph, Yarwood argued that public funds should not support schemes that discriminate based on race.
