      NEW I asked Amber Rudd if, hand on heart, she can say it's "compassionate" to double UC claimants this year, keep the two child limit and keep the benefit freeze til 2020. She could not. Instead she said: "The overall product that is Universal Credit is absolutely compassionate"

      DWP chief Amber Rudd told me many controversies about UC are based on just "one or two" people. "Some of the criticisms that have come from various publications have been based on one or two particular individuals where the advice hasn't worked for them." That'll go down well...

          Does this tapioca in human form not realise that anything she says can be easily disproved with a two second search on Google?

          The cutting of legal aid has most likely put paid to most people's intentions of pursuing a court case. You have to hand it to the government. They seem to have thought of everything.

          OMG I'm truly amazed at this. Where does "reality" rate in the Tory mindset? Obviously not on this planet!!! When will they see? It's not only Universal Credit, it's the whole system of harassment and inhumane treatment. Get real! What is wrong with you?? It needs to change FFS

          She thinks a zero hours 'job' offer is a job offer and can't be refused. So all the Tories and their rich company owning mates have to do to stop people claiming benefits, is to offer everyone a zero hours contract which they never have to fulfill.
