“They [UK govt] made that boost to Universal Credit at the start of the pandemic because they knew UC was not enough to live on, and they still know that. Covid is not going to take poverty away with it, so families, wherever they are, need that lifeline to stay.”
"There is near universal opposition to this cut, including from prominent Conservatives. It is time the government saw sense, backed struggling families and cancelled their cut to universal credit".

Two-thirds (62%) of those on #UniversalCredit are either in work, or not expected to work due to ill health, caring for a baby etc
The govt's narrative that cutting the £20 uplift is all about getting people back into work is a deliberate & pernicious falsehood #KeepTheLifeline
