Ian Duncan Smith, the man that came up with Universal Credit, is to receive a Knighthood.
Let's remember that Universal Credit is currently pushing families into destitution at a rate unseen since Victorian times. It is driving the 80% increase in the use of foodbanks in the last 5 years. It is fuelling a rise in homelessness, it is stopping people for being able to start jobs too. The government has recognised these problems and been repeatedly asked to make changes to the system so that it is less brutal on those who have to claim, but have refused to do so.
Instead, they give the highest honour in the land to the person who came up with such an artful way to persecute those who find themselves in need of help.
This is Tory Britain.
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
