The roll-out of universal credit is a mess. People are left without money—people who need money on a weekly basis. People are left in a situation where they cannot afford to buy things. People are left in a situation of uncertainty, and we know that the UK Government's response to all this is, 'Who cares?' pretty much. Well, we care on this side of the Chamber. We urge the UK Government to make sure that people who need that money get that money and they stop the cuts they are making to the benefit system, and the cuts they are making to the spending that we as a society have historically made on those who are most vulnerable. We will always stand for those who are most vulnerable.
