Public confidence in universal credit will collapse
without an urgent £3bn cash injection to reverse cuts that are set to leave
millions of families worse off, an influential thinktank has warned. The Resolution Foundation says a spree of
Treasury-driven welfare cuts since 2015 has left universal credit unable to
meet its original aims of strengthening work incentives and supporting the
incomes of low-income families. It warns that the current fragile political
consensus in support of universal credit risks breaking down unless ministers
refinance the reform and fix multiple design and implementation problems.
