Britain's welfare system is "unfit for purpose" and in urgent need of reform

[[Britain's welfare system]].

Britain’s welfare system ‘unfit for purpose’ with millions struggling, expert…

Because

• [[The basic rate of out-of-work benefits is at its lowest for 30 years]]
• Britain has soaring prices of food
• Britain has soaring prices of rent
• Britain has soaring [[energy bills]]
• These are forcing families to choose between basic essentials such as food and heat - [[Heat or eat]]
• Growing numbers are being forced into debt and relying on food banks

And

• Millions more families will struggle to make ends meet amid the dual pressures of the pandemic and the spiralling cost-of-living crisis

So

• We need rapid reforms to the social security system to protect low-income families from extreme hardship
• We need a fundamental reform of universal credit
• We need a cut to VAT on energy bills
• We need the expansion of the warm home discount scheme
