The government are going to cut Universal Credit. Or rather, not cut it, but instead allow he temporary uplift in it to expire. Over the last few years, we have seen the rise of Child Food Poverty as well as In Work Poverty.
The issue of if this should be cut came up in PMQ’s today.
Needless to say, Boris Johnson did not answer the questions posed to him about how he is to cut help to those who need it most. And this was a matter that came up on several occasions.
I do think that Keir Starmer would have done better if he had used the personal examples that Jeremy Corbyn did in this role as ignoring reality is so much harder when real people are used.
I hope our MP does not vote for these cuts. But he is a Conservative and I suspect will toe the government line on this.
