Theresa May risks damaging Britain's international
reputation if she fails to scrap housing benefit cuts facing the disabled,
veterans and other vulnerable people, Labour has claimed. Shadow communities

planned changes to supported housing scheme funding. He warned the cuts will
"jeopardise the safety" of people fleeing domestic violence and also affect
the elderly, people mental health difficulties and the homeless. Mr Morris said
a failure to change the policy would raise serious questions about the new
Government's priorities while also accusing them of "breaking the covenant
with our veterans". Read more on
