Universal credit - Permitted Work. UK

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Hede Maria Cavell, Wednesday, 23 Mar 2022, 14:46

I have been interested in the comments the chancellor  is making regarding those who are unemployed . Is he aware of how grating his comments can be in regard to his transition into work and the blanket comment regarding the 'Only way is to work'. People who are not  working are not shirker's. The chancellor must know that the DWP sends out permitted to work' forms . The government now dictate which jobs are suitable for you to do has that failed to cross his mind ?    

 What way is that giving people freedom to chose what they are able and to know their limits.?

What does that do for their self esteem ? 

The chancellor says  he supports, 'hard working people with children'. How degrading to other groups of society and how diverse is he ? 'Stereo Typing' ?

 It give us a clue of how the government really view the  people of the UK, by deciding  what work they can do and  the terminology used to degrade. Where is the respect?

'World beating' !

Hi Hede and Darren,

You are right there!

Exactly, and how can a Billionaire like Sunak, understand what it is like to be struggling financially ?

Does he think 5p will make a big difference?

Best wishes
