Amber Rudd admitted today that the increased use of food banks is 'partly' down to problems in rolling out universal credit, that it was "absolutely clear there were challenges with the initial roll-out" of the benefit and that the difficulty in accessing money was "one of the causes" of the rise.

What 'food insecurity' means in practical terms is they haven't got any. Shame on this Government.
