indeed maggy.
Interesting the report which provided the basis for the White Paper on Universal Credit was created by the Economic Dependency Working Group:
David Godfrey, Chief of staff to Greg Clark (Con)
Nicholas Boys Smith (Con-home contributor and former advisor to Peter Lilley (Con))
Nick Hillman (Con)
Sara McKee (former A4E director)
Dr Peter King (Con-home contributor)
Lee Rowley (Con)
Debbie Scott (Tory peer, working alongside Lord Freud)
Corin Taylor (Taxpayers' Alliance)
Now this purge on part time workers is puzzling to say the least.
Although would love to see poster tell me if the article correct fulltime workers could also forced to lose there job.
A crazy way to look at issue if I am honest. For one they contribute yes they get topped up but at least coalition YOU only pay half which if they lost the job you would have to provide 100%. In my knowledge 50-60% support better 100%. You would actually drastically increase benefits not reduce them.
Now lets look part time who likely those who do so.
Sole Parent
Have children sole parent might want to just do part time work some cant afford full childcare might due to circumstances cant go 35hrs +
Looking after a disabled person or even elderly
Surely would not be right to try push these into fulltime position or shove them on welfare. You might say why they part time at all it maybe its there way getting break bit independance.
Disabled
They simply due to the way disibilty is unable go full time restricted to 16 hrs work. Due to its painful they need the days to rest. Dont think it would be right for these either
Those who cant find fulltime who ended up taking part time just get a job.
Then those the government identified scroungers the ones who do just enough. Again these still even if the government dont want admit to at least dont get 100%.
It seems strange rule but we still see the attack on the poor its not there fault companies only pay minimum wage less scaled for less skilled workforce. Maybe coalition talk to rich budies get better job prospects more wages and higher pay.
The other is again policy which actually will harm the economy not make it start to recover. Take that spending out of the system will make this country implode.
