The DWP have published their latest figures for the
number of people claiming universal credit. The figures show that after 2 years
there are now just 46,920 claiming Universal Credit. That is less than 5% of
the total number of claimants that Iain Duncan Smith originally promised by
April 2014. Or, put another way, the government’s flagship program that IDS had
repeatedly said was ‘on time and on budget’ has fallen 95% short of its target
during this Parliament. These latest figures are an astonishing embarrassment
for the Tories. Download the figures from the DWP website.
