Rishi Sunak challenged by Glasgow SNP over 'cruel' social security cuts
SNP politicians have now written a joint letter to the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, to urge him and the government to rethink its damaging welfare policies

GLASGOW’S SNP MPs and MSPs have written to Chancellor Rishi Sunak urging him to scrap the cruel two-child cap and U-turn on planned cuts to universal credit (UC). 

Analysis from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation published last week shows that Glasgow will be the area hardest hit in Scotland by the upcoming UC cuts, on top of being the worst affected by the two-child limit policy.

In every Westminster constituency in Glasgow, there are more than four in 10 families with children affected by the cuts to UC, with three areas seeing more than half hit by the reductions.
