Dominic Raab would be out of his depth on a wet pavement.

No it won't.some of these could be key workers

But you’re pushing people who are in full time work into the benefit trap by keeping tax allowances the same, raising NI along with rising fuel, food, inflation etc😡 Highly skilled jobs don’t always pay higher wages, I’ve a highly skilled job yet haven’t had a pay rise in 10+hrs

Isn't this like telling a trapezes artist that taking away their safety net will teach them not to fall?

Boris the buffoon and ALL the Tories have never had to worry about money , that's why they cannot understand why so many people are up in arms about the £20 cut to universal credit .. I blame the Tory voters 🤡🤡🤡

That's a lie because people was trapped in it well before the extra £20 was given.
