Disabled man starved to death after DWP stopped his benefits - he was only found by bailiffs kicking down his door to evict him. Shameful theguardian.com/society/2020/j…

A landmark study has linked Tory austerity to 120,000 deaths - Theresa May cried for herself but not for them. independent.co.uk/news/health/to…

The DWP’s “Universal Credit Uncovered” newspaper advert backfires - fantastic takedown of that notorious advertorial newstatesman.com/politics/welfa…

It should be predictable that thrusting people into absolute poverty will lead to some horrible outcomes. Yet the government shows no care or interest.

You’ve said there are problems with #UniversalCredit. @AmberRuddHR Can you commit to pausing the roll out until these are properly addressed?
