#universalcredit claimants now getting blamed across social media as reason for @BorisJohnson #government #GE2019 result . Some @UKLabour & @Conservatives MP’s , activists, party members & voters share far too much in common...

No it’s not the truth. I work in social housing where people are waiting up to 6 weeks for a Universal Credit payment. People are forced to choose between heating their house, getting food and feeding their kids and paying their rent. I see it first hand every working day.
#GE2019 . Some thoughts on #universalcredit it will now impact 8 million people . It is a catastrophic & cruel social policy - yet it took @UKLabour until 2017 manifesto & @ very last minute to come out in favour of scrapping it. Yet to see #MSM reffer to fact Surely had impact?

Well a lot of people are acclimatising to Universal Credit. Some new claims can take up to eight weeks, that’s the main reason for the sharp incline in need for food boxes, while they have no income

What about a single widow/widower with a disabled child who's universal credit doesn't cut it? There may be work for you now but by 2035 unless you're in arts, sports, science (and arguably care/service) your job is being done by a robot. Only labour had a plan to phase in UBI.

No, you see this is no longer something I can do anything about. I had a conversation today about how I will soon be losing the small amount of work I have. So as soon as that goes well here comes Universal Credit. I may or may not have ten weeks up to April. (1)

While conservative voters look forward to closure on Brexit, I will be thinking of the 4 million children in poverty and those forced to go to food banks as a result of universal credit. BYE
We do not endorse any political parties welfare policies for #GE19 @UKLabour claim it will scrap #universalcredit but not scrap #benefitsanctions , #conditionality @LibDems helped @Conservatives introduce #UC & #foodbanks + suffering. Voters claiming UC not seen as #voters at all

My Universal Credit account tells me that this month, I will be receiving £63 less than in October. Most of this is to pay off Tax Credits from two years ago. The rest is to repay part of the budgeting loan I took out two weeks ago to pay for clothes for my father's funeral.

Royal Navy amputee stranded with £16 Universal Credit told 'get a job' by the DWP: Only three weeks after Kevin, 62, had his leg amputated, the DWP has said he must prove that he wants to return to work to receive £16 a month mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ro…

Sorry to hear this. Yes, unfortunately it is essential to the DWP's deterrent model of 'support' to blame claimants rather than help them. This is why the DWP and welfare conditionality should be abolished.

Grandparents Carole Richardson & David McLoughlin (68 yrs old) forced to 'live' on £4.50 a week under widely criticised Tory #UniversalCredit: "It's so depressing...whenever we phone up abt UC, nobody phones back. It's always somebody else's fault." theargus.co.uk/news/18037624…
While the DWP drones @pcs_union now get off the hook by blaming the dodgy computer: "He showed wage slips that proved the pay was reported wrong, but jobcentre staff could do nothing (!)"
