THOUSANDS of jobless layabouts risk having benefits stopped in a crackdown on the workshy.
Ministers now want to make ALL able-bodied claimants do unpaid community tasks in return for their dole.
The move follows the success of a tough new regime aimed at pushing the long-term unemployed into work.
Job centre staff have power to send suspected shirkers to join supervised gangs painting schools or trimming hedgerows.
Those who refuse to put in 30 hours a week have their ?ú67.50-a-week unemployment benefit stopped. Next month the government will DOUBLE the number on the programme.
Employment Minister Chris Grayling, who set up the scheme last year, wants to extend it to capture thousands more he believes play the system.
And he has launched a secret trial in one area to see if tough sanctions can be imposed on EVERY claimant. An insider said: ÔÇ£He wants this scheme to be the norm, rather than an optional extra.
ÔÇ£They are planning to extend it rapidly from next month and have already found funding for thousands more places.
More than 18,000 jobless have already joined community projects or had their handouts docked.
But a study shows half of claimants would rather lose their cash than do unpaid work
