Last year Lib Dems achieved a huge victory in stopping George Osborne's tax credit cuts to low-income working families. But while the Chancellor backed down on these plans, he quietly kept plans to impose similar cuts to Universal Credit. These cuts will make millions of people in work worse off from 2017, cutting their income by more than £1,000 per year. It's unfair punishment for people just trying to get by.
These cuts will affect the same people as the Tax Credit cuts, just in a few years’ time rather than in April this year so we have to stop them. We cannot stand by while the lives of those on low-incomes are made more difficult.
That’s why Lib Dem MPs and Peers are fighting against the cuts. Our Peers have tabled a vote in Parliament that would stop the cuts in their tracks. Labour - just like with tax credit cuts - haven't committed yet, so it's down to us. Will you help build momentum by backing the campaign today?
