This is what you have been writing to us about this week.

It makes no sense to cut the £20 Universal Credit uplift in six months when the furlough scheme will have ended and unemployment is expected to be near its highest – exactly when families will need it most.

Families need help and certainty, not a stay of execution.

There’s no faster way to push more children into poverty than by snatching £20 a week out of the pockets of our country’s poorest families.

Many of them are in work and doing their best to hold their heads above water after a traumatic year that’s seen hours cut and wage packets slashed.

We ask the Prime Minister to urgently make this lifeline permanent for all Universal Credit and Working Tax Credit claimants - and extend it to legacy benefit claimants - to prevent a generation of vulnerable children from being scarred by poverty and the pandemic.
