entitlement

Is there 'entitlement' around Scotland or has Townsend misjudged criticism?

Yet the hardest challenges—reducing the national debt, strengthening the workforce and restoring upward mobility—demand effort, not entitlement.

Labour chair of the Education Select Committee, Helen Hayes, has joined campaigners saying this entitlement must stay in place.

By turning caste into a ledger of entitlements and grievances, the census reduces politics to arithmetic - who gets how much - rather than addressing what Mr Teltumbde calls the "architecture of social injustice".

This is a far better use of his political energy than targeting the filibuster, which is a bulwark against ever-more entitlements.
