Getting back to the original question posed by the OP!
I recommend the Samaritans! Such good listeners and guaranteed they won’t leak a word to the media!:love:

Universal Credit claimants epitomise the 'just about managing' - often in poorly-paid work, usually raising a family whilst in rented accommodation, and always at a disadvantage in dealing with officialdom.

The UC roll-out has run into practical problems (poor admin, delays in payment, refusal to pay landlords direct, insistence on on-line operation, etc) that have created quite severe hardship in many instances. It is impossible for poor people to carry on paying their rent, and buy their groceries, whilst they wait six weeks or more for their claim.

Charging them 55p/minute while they waited to discuss their problems was never going to play well - although the Government has now been obliged to abandon the wheeze, the damage has already been done.

To add injury to insult, Jeremy Corbyn has today won his first (technical) Parliamentary victory over the issue.

In fairness to Theresa May - who invented the JAM demographic - she is making him look very competent these days: the Tories have the look of a party that no longer cares about those who support this country by their minimum wage labour.

This cannot end well.
A week is a long time in politics....

Today according to a poll in the Times...
Conservatives move ahead of labour in the polls..
Mrs May's lead over Jeremy Corbyn....
Has risen sharply and is now 9 points clear and on Brexit she holds a 16 point lead in trust over Jeremy.
Can the switchboard @Walterp please redirect the calls.

Jesus Corbyn only got close because he promised students something he later admitted he couldn't deliver. What's new? I don't believe he will ever get anywhere near No.10. He's a pure opportunist as is his second in command.

It would be ridiculous for a developed nation to elect someone who makes Michael Foot look right wing.
