Just as advisors to the Government predicted, these reforms have not only resulted in human misery as, for example, the eviction of disabled people from their (often adapted for them at public expense) homes gathers pace- but their welfare reforms actually cost more.
The first Welsh eviction of a woman (who has had two spinal prolapses and suffers from sciatica of the leg) looks immediately imminent. After starting to pay off her arrears by cutting down on food and turning down her heating, she has been told to pay the remaining £720 or get out.
How on earth has this been allowed to happen?
