Universal credit is better than job seekers allowance Jca is a little amount of money it’s nothing

How many pilots needed? This is 6 years since introducing and many have suffered. Get those on it right before anymore pilots

Bastard I was hoping they would move 3 million over to take the heat off me. It's fucking ridiculous the things we get up to on Universal Credit like working 16 hours for no money so I only have to jobsearch 17.5 hours a week not 35. It's all dodging and diving!

Thankfully I haven’t had to be in this position but have heard of genuine cases of people who have lost their jobs but have to wait 6 weeks for benefit. Landlords should be given money directly to prevent evictions and there should be no need for food banks in 21st century! 2/2

Why roll it out to more claimants when the ones already on it can’t cope? The long term unemployed can’t wait 6 weeks to be paid. Councils and other landlords can’t get their rent so they can be at risk of losing their home. Let’s see these idiots live on this system 1/2

It’s as though every policy is an act of market-testing. They see how far & how nasty they can be. Any kickback, they withdraw. No resistance, they ratchet up the next most horrible policy. Like a Fascist Apprenticeship Programme. You dread what might be next. UniversalCredit

Poor old Rudd just cannot avoid hostile environments.

I read this as a threat of a popular revolt a la the gilets jaunes...

Jeez you guys must really hate Amber Rudd! How long did it take you to find the worst possible photo of that women?

It's no accident that in the 90s, 'Universal Credit' was a dodgy, sub-prime, high interest loan company
