    This is absolutely astonishing - Around 950,000 people have applied for Universal Credit since govt introduced 'stay at home', policy on 16th March - it would normally be about 100,000 over a fortnight

        Worth remembering people on Universal Credit have lots of different circumstances, not everyone is out of work, DWP says they have moved 10k staff to help deal with the demand

        Boris is lying; he’s hiding away from scrutiny with @MattHancock & knobhead Cummings. Having recently recruited the same team who helped delivered Brexit, they’re planning their next media manipulation to deliver more lies & corruption on behalf of the elite tax avoiders
