Aspects of UC that attract criticism - payment monthly in arrears, more responsibility for paying housing costs, conditionality - are features not bugs. Having one benefit regime also intended to make the transition to work easier. /2 — PolitiTweet.org

The Government's argument for reversing the UC uplift is that it wants to raise living standards through work not benefits. But the whole purpose of UC is to make it easier for claimants to get into work, stay in work and increase their earnings. /1 https://t.co/ag78KakioE — PolitiTweet.org

UC also involves a more coherent approach to benefit withdrawal/paying tax. Having made those reforms, it's not credible to claim that there's a choice between encouraging work vs keeping UC more generous. /3 — PolitiTweet.org
