Rejected petition Get rid of Universal Credit and go back to the old Child and Working tax system
Rejected on
Too many families are being effected by universal credit. Going weeks without money living off foodbanks. Some even turning to crime to basically live day to day.
You just need to look at every other paper nearly every day more people are coming forward having no money. Freezing and starving to death. Losing homes the list goes on
