Labour will force a vote in the House of Commons on the Tories' plans to slash Universal Credit by £20 a week. The party will demand Tory MPs put their names to their actions on Monday night after Boris Johnson refused to drop the cut.
Universal Credit was raised by £1,040 "temporarily" for the 2020/21 financial year to help with the impact of coronavirus. As it stands, the government plans to cut the basic monthly allowance from £409.89 to £324.84 on April 12.
