I think you are a Labour Party drone who spends most of his life trying to bad mouth the Tories.

Lots of people evicted because of the benefits cap ?

and also they do not pay rent direct to landlords anymore, giving all the cash to claimants

You can talk about nasty tories and the poorest in society bearing the brunt for austerity cuts etc but I feel this misses the point slightly, the idea is that people are weened off benefits and we stop the benefits culture.

More should be done about minimum wage though, lower corporation tax and business rates and increase the minimum wage. Then work really will pay

As I said good idea badly administered. The wait of over 6 weeks to get any money is far too long. Those in social housing can probably get away with missing a couple of rent payments but those in private rented accommodation are finding landlords aren't quite so accommodating, this is the sector where evictions are happening.

Good to see TM announce the lifting of the benefit cap towards social housing rents.
Another u turn brought about by that weak opposition everyone kept saying were cr AP.

I think that you should either make an attempt to answer the question or go forth and multiply

UC a good idea in theory, but bungled (like most other things) by the government for ideological reasons and ineptitude.

Makes work pay as long as you don't actually get a job as the taper rate is effectively a 63% tax rate (imagine the reaction on here and among Tory grandees if that was the top tax rate).

Things like payment in arrears and unifying the system is all well and good but it has to be done competently and with proper transitional arrangements. Also the fact that cash no longer goes directly to social landlords is such a bad idea.

A universal basic income, combined with proper top rates of tax, fair taxation of capital (vs income) would be a much better idea, easier to administer and have significant benefits to people's productivity. It would also have a massive beneficial impact on mental health.

Sadly don't know enough about it to comment
