Whatever if ever can't be anywhere as bad as the six year hike on my wifes pension.

People in glass houses...

I fear for those who are making the effort to getting back to work and the sick along with pensioners. This woman is nasty and that is putting it in a way Bossmark would say is too nice for her.

Just as well we have an alternative 'government in waiting'

I was not aware we had one, the whole lot in opposition are unfit and so is the one that is pretending to be the government. You may as well put a brick wall in charge, at lease we can bulldoze that down after five years if it failed.

Universal Credit: More than one million calls to helpline abandoned

https://news.sky.com/story/over-one-...doned-11202183

I can not comment on the here and now, around 2012 I had to call the helpline which was not free and I could be waiting on the phone more than 45 minutes! It sounds to me there is not enough operators/advisor's at the other end then and now.

Problem is the cabinet is pulling PM May's strings. I would not rule out that woman throwing her hat in the ring when May steps down.

Agreed mate, if ever there was a Thatcher clone, by God she's it

Call Thatcher if you must but at least she had a backbone when it came to defending Britains interests.

Economics and defence are worlds apart.
