Tory ministers are preparing yet another sanctions crackdown on benefit claimants in the wake of the tax-cutting, bankers’ bonus-scrapping mini-Budget.
Today’s statement confirmed plans to force another 120,000 Universal Credit claimants who already work part-time to seek extra hours from January.
It was at least the third tightening of the rules so far this year, as new Prime Minister Liz Truss seeks to push people into nearly 1.3million job vacancies.
