And who is gonna pay for that Yes, you're right. Us.

I want to know what the IT system has cost. It was £15bn when IDS left, iirc. Whatever it is, compare it to the cost of other IT systems. UniversalCredit

Devastating truth is higher costs will not be affordable unless the government project to leave the EU is stopped. Tax collected will fall according to experts. Why is every project this government starts stopped or reversed? LibDems Dozen since 2010 only things that worked

The roll-back of government 'support' in people's lives is more important to the government than the cost. It is just a step within a bigger process.

Yes it will Highland Council Inverness is owed approx. £2 million in rent arrears alone from UniversalCredit full roll-out. This money owed is not going back into regional public finances etc. For larger cities throughout UK it will be disastrous!

conservatives policy costs more: lives? ; money ; suffering for people with mental health issues? ; demand on foodbanks?

No really?! We hadn’t noticed. And then there’s the human cost which is just beyond imagination. It should’ve been stopped when IDS kept returning cap in hand to an increasingly pissed off chancellor who was fed up of the ever inc cost. Damage done

As long as Tories believe the poorest and most deprived are suffering to an even greater extent is all that matters.

Women launch legal challenge to 'irrational' universal credit systemFlaw in system leaves people with dramatically fluctuating monthly incomes, they say Just when you thought this Conservative government could not possibly be more incompetent... Perhaps too many women are reliant on benefits. After I finished a short term contract. I refused to apply for U.C. I asked for an alternative, as I couldn't afford to wait 5 weeks. I was signed up to Jobseekers, got a bridging loan, then received a payment 2 weeks later. Always study their rules & never take no for an answer.
