Record View says it still beggars belief the idea of cutting Universal Credit in real terms was seriously being considered.
Liz Truss has only been Prime Minister for a month and already her authority is evaporating. The Tory leader was forced to abandon her pet policy of slashing income tax for the highest earners.
Several Conservative MPs have now publicly spoken out in favour of raising Universal Credit. It has to be hoped that Truss does listen to reason and confirms next month that her government will boost benefits across the UK. Too many Scots are already living in fuel poverty. It’s imperative that Universal Credit and other benefits rise in line with inflation. The consequences of not doing so would be more premature deaths and misery for millions. Truss and her government have already been forced into one major U-turn. It’s now time she changed her mind on benefits.
We report on their activities today for one simple reason – ignoring these hatemongers will not make them go away. It is vital that all political parties and community organisations stand firm against the threat of the far-right. People are understandably angry just now about the state of the country.
