The idea that we would lower the incomes of the most vulnerable and those facing the most extreme poverty in society is unthinkable. www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

This, from a DWP press release yesterday (gov.uk/government/n...), is outrageous In two short paragraphs it peddles multiple falsehoods about the current system that will be used to justify upcoming cuts & changes Here's what MPs & journalists should be challenging... 🧵
