This should be worth keeping an eye on today... Unless she has a last-minute change of heart and listens to her own back-benchers, and others, May is faced with losing this debate,

As others have said Universal Credits is the right way to go - but as with all goverments they have refused to spend money on a custom build computer system and have tried to amend an off the shelf computer system which doesn't work. Before this is jumped on this is not a Tory issue it has been every government!
"the implementation of it is being done by idots [sic]"
Seems a bit harsh. If a policy is badly-written then the most able people in the world won't be able to implement it effectively.
I can accept that the *idea* of Universal Credit might be the right way to go, but the policy itself has been rushed through by, in particular, Iain Duncan Smith when he was Minister at the DWP, and that has left a huge mess that needs clearing up. Universal Credit was an idea that needed proper and careful planning and design before it was rolled out, and was never given a chance by people who -- let's face it -- had a political agenda to do so.

I include the policy writers in the 'idiots' jim.
These things are continually rushed through (by all Governments) and wrong decisions are made every time. And no one seems to learn or is fired for them. Why? In the real World you feel pain for such disasters!
Remember after implementation (and sometimes repeated just before) comes the headless chicken phase closely followed by the witch hunt phase. Ever PM following Prince II should have this in the plan.

an interesting programme on the other day, that this rollout is causing real problems for people, some of whom have had to wait the six weeks before being able to apply for UC. Worse is that many landlords won't take people on UC, so not only were many not able to get UC, now they have no where to live, some having already been evicted. Terrible situation for them, especially if they have children.
