Top Tory MPs delay universal credit in their own backyards

TOP Tories are "putting off” the disastrous consequences of Universal Credit by quietly delaying it in their own constituencies, Labour has warned.
Prime Minister Theresa May, Work and Pensions Secretary David Gauke and former Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith have excluded its roll-out in their seats for at least three months as part of changes quietly brought in following last week's Budget, Labour MP Stephanie Peacock revealed.
The delay will cover most of Maidenhead, Ashford, South West Hertfordshire and Chingford, and Woodford Green.
