#C4News reporting on poverty/deprivation Growing up with my parents we often had no money for heating,lighting,food,clothing,and had to rely on the kind hearts of others In the 21st century,this is WRONG! @RishiSunak saying #UniversalCredit is generous,it is NOT! ...continued..
There's the cruel 2 child cap,the bedroom tax,the rent cap,the sanctions @DWP @NeilCouling @JustinTomlinson and @theresecoffey think are justifiable,the need to have a smart phone,internet conection to claim benefits and the huge repayments if loans are needed.........
Carers Allowance is deducted in FULL from UC,a miserable payment of £67 per week for caring for someone is classed as earnings ! If your rent is over I think £500 per month,from your benefits you must cover the excess,the cost of internet,must come from benefits, the surplus.....
bedrooms,removed from your benefits 14% for 1 bedroom too many 25% for 2 or more,ie,2 extra bedrooms means from your benefits you MUST cover a quarter of your rent! @RishiSunak is reportedly worth £200million,what would he know about poverty,could he survive on UC ? .......
Could @theresecoffey ,we know she likes her cigars,could she give those up? I challenge those in @GOVUK to live on #UniversalCredit for 6months,having to choose between food and bills,clothing and bills IT IS CRUEL and HEARTLESS and should NOT be happening #ToryLiars
