I wonder if journalists have interviewed actual UC claimants across a spectrum of households to fully understand how little help is being given? To understand the indignity of the process?

I had "intelligent" people criticise me for saying "increase the Minimum Wage". "No, let business pay peanuts & make up the difference with increased UC. You must be a Tory if you don't want the State to subsidise jobs". They don't worry that businesses are then making money from the taxpaying poor

Market capitalisation is £631m, so £18m in 6 months is a return of 2.8%. After tax, they'd probably do better putting the money in a cash ISA. If they increase pay by £10m they'd definitely do better in a cash ISA. Yes,seems reasonable. They'll have to raise prices.

Even if it is, Benefit Street could do with the cash, and will certainly spend it right back into the Economy.

Plus the future reduction in health care, SEND, criminality etc etc. These kids will have a chance to be productive members of society oooo they might even end up owning a house worth 2m or more! Labour could have done this last year

Go fuck yourself

Stephen doesn’t care.

Yes, that can happen to anyone. And some families limit themselves to one child due to finances anyway. But in this day & age, with an overpopulated planet, why does anyone need to have a large family? Long gone are the days when half of the children born can be expected to die in infancy.

How about paying people more so that they don’t need taxpayer subsidies.

And thank you to all those hard working parents for having a third child to grow the economy especially when immigrants are so unpopular

Everything asked of them except not having children that they can't afford. There are people who would have liked more children but didn't because they couldn't afford them. But it is an interesting statistic, so thank you for that.

Which just tells you how many people are not being paid properly. And the question arises, why are we subsidising abusive businesses? bsky.app/profile/ldw1...
