Zo behandelen de Tory's de armen van de UK:

Citaat:
A year on from the introduction of the lower benefit cap, its abiding legacy is to push people closer to homelessness.

The cap, introduced on 7 November 2016, reduced the total amount any family can receive in benefits from £26,000 to £23,000 in London and £20,000 outside the capital, leaving families with significant shortfalls between the benefits they get and the cost of their housing.

In our most recent research we spoke to 18 families with capped benefit across the UK and each time we heard a familiar story – one of stress, struggle and a daily fight to remain in their home.

Rising homelessness is a direct result of toxic government cuts

Half of those families said they had gone without food, fuel or were otherwise in debt as a result of the cut. Among a raft of other hardships a third said they had been forced to use food banks.

That’s hardly surprising when the government’s most recent figures show that nearly a third of the 68,000 families that were capped have lost by between £50 and £100 a week in benefits.
