        He says UC can cause problems for the 'Conservative Party'. Surely he means 'those in need'? There again, every policy decision the Tories take is for the sole benefit of themselves, and maintaining the power of the monied ruling elites. Just watch the next Brexit moves...

        Why is it that failed politicians now think they have all the answers? Major, Blair, Brown, Heseltine - crap then and crap now.

        We can all chirp from the sidelines and say what’s wrong. How about coming up with solutions?

        Transitional Protection is only a top up to what we are currently receiving. However any future increases in UC will taken from this TP. Which could effectively mean the same household income for the next ?? years. No regard to inflation and the usual annual increases.

        And if they are well enough to protest, they’re well enough to work.

        We all complain about the poll tax and it was eventually scrapped And now we all pay a lot more in our council tax, The problem is not universal credit but the change where they have to wait 4/6 weeks for the first payment. Maybe just give a 1 off payment to gap

        If it was such a good idea at the concept stage, why was its administration during the pilot period contracted out to a discredited (American owned) agency? (as revealed in @PrivateEyeNews) SNAFU ring any bells?

        No one is interested in anything you have to say @JohnMajor apart from your shoddy letter to blood poisoning victims.
