.@KatieSchmuecker: "For those in work, the change to the taper rate and work allowance, alongside the National Living Wage increase, are very positive steps, allowing low-paid workers to keep more of what they earn."
.@KatieSchmuecker: "But the reality is that millions of people who are unable to work or looking for work will not benefit from these changes. The Chancellor’s decision to ignore them today as the cost of living rises risks deepening poverty among this group."
.@KatieSchmuecker on #bbcnews on the Universal Credit changes in today's Budget #Budget2021 #SpendingReview
"These steps go some way to turning the tide of in-work poverty that has been rising... But this does nothing for those who are unable to work or who are looking for work"
