A well-known neuroscientist and author has taken apart Liz Truss' claim that taking money away from people in poverty will motivate them.
Dr Dean Burnett posted a powerful thread on Twitter where he claimed that the Prime Minister's plan to encourage people to work longer by reducing benefits. There are strong rumours that the UK Government will not increase benefits in line with inflation despite promises from the Johnson administration that this would happen.
This would then result in a real terms drop for some of the poorest in society right at a time when their bills are skyrocketing.
