All right-minded people should be RTing/liking @ZaltzCricket's tweets suggesting a one-off #ENGvIND Test next summer. — PolitiTweet.org

No Tests between end of June and mid-August next year. India due to tour anyway. Might as well fit the 5th Test in then.

In any event, the 'work not benefits' justification for ending the uplift is a weak argument that could be a painful mistake for both claimants & the Government. My thoughts in @NewStatesman. https://t.co/ag78KakioE — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
Also worth thinking if a more generous welfare system might help other policy objectives e.g. we need to put a price on carbon but that will probably be regressive. UC can ensure that the poorest are protected (rather than lots of complex exemptions). /6 — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
I'm not dismissive of the fiscal challenge & there might be a case for freezing allowances but an overnight withdrawal will cause much hardship (& political problems). /5 — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
The uplift money could be better spent (it was a quick way of getting money out the door at a time of crisis) & I'd rather see it redeployed into higher work allowances and/or a lower taper rate. /4 — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
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
David Gauke @DavidGauke
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
David Gauke @DavidGauke
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

What was expected? An NI increase to fund social care. What we got? An NI increase + other tax rises (dividends/over 66s) that made it a bit more like an income tax increase but with added complexity to fund the NHS + some unfunded commitments on a care costs cap & means testing. — PolitiTweet.org

Given that (1) most of the money raised in the next 3 years is going to be spent on the NHS and not social care & (2) it'll be really hard to switch this short term increase in NHS spending to social care, I'm not sure that today's announcements have 'got social care done'. — PolitiTweet.org
