This is nothing, just wait till the Overall Benefits Cap kicks in. What’s going to be really interesting is how much of the reality gets reported in the mainstream media. Where are our Cathy Come Homes, our Boys From The Blackstuff? If I’d been a nascent oligarch as a youth when I watched those, I’d have made damn sure when I grew up I’d have my friends control the media so such programs could never be aired. Perhaps that explains the lack of coverage.
The link to the Liverpool Echo story seemed to be broken so I’ve looked it up:

The quote from the DWP is the usual rubbish.
