This is right. The best way to help the poorest with the increased cost of living is to use UC. Also right to identify a big reason why Govt reluctant to do this. If it wants a temporary measure to counteract a temporary spike in costs, UC harder to reverse than a bespoke scheme. — PolitiTweet.org

The other reason is that Govt wants to provide help to more than just UC claimants. But, as a general point, using UC is the best way to help the poor. Using other policy levers usually less efficient & adds complexity (see this piece from September). https://t.co/KyrC5rcVNn — PolitiTweet.org
