I've been moseying around the housing element of Universal Credit. What will it mean for people needing to claim for rent or mortgage interest? What does it say about government policy?
Both are worth thought. The more that commentators concentrate on “benefit” claimants, the happier government and its Siamese-twin financial interests will be. (Owen Jones' “The Establishment and how they get away with it”, provides a useful background here).
