It has been a slight relief to see Amber Rudd, the new Secretary of State at DWP, recognise there are clearly issues with the roll out of universal credit; but a real shame she cannot see the impact of austerity measures have had on levels of poverty in the U.K.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

"I was disappointed to say the least by the extraordinary political nature of his language; that sort of language was wholly inappropriate."

Works and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd responds to remarks made about poverty in the UK by UN Special Rapporteur Philip Alston.
