Cancel the Cut to Universal Credit – Unite Community Whistle-Stop Tour of Red Wall Towns and Cities

Friday 03 December, 2021 Written by Simon Collyer

UNIVERSAL CREDIT CUTS - Do you want to fight the cuts says Unite.

The chancellor has announced that in the coming weeks the taper rate will be reduced to 55p, which would mean that workers would take home 8p more of an extra pound earned. Also, the work allowances for eligible claimants will go up by £500 a year.

However if you don't have a job thats not much use.

Unite Community is kicking off a whistle-stop tour of red wall seats. The first one was yesterday but it is starting properly next week.
