Living in poverty? Here’s why a vote for Labour makes a difference

Labour’s manifesto promises a real difference to any living in poverty

Scrapping the Bedroom Tax immediately
Scrapping the Sanctions regime
Reinstating Housing Benefit for unemployed 18-21 year olds
Scrapping cuts to Bereavement benefits
Increasing the Work element of Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) by £30 per week
Ending the 6 week delay in paying out to new Universal Credit (UC) claimants
Ending the ‘rape clause’ for mothers claiming UC for more than 2 children
Replacing the Work Capability and Personal Independent Payment (PIP) assessments with a humane and personalised service
Ending the constant reassessments for people with severe long term conditions
Keeping the pensionable age at 66
Building a large volume of council and housing association homes -; at least 100,000 a year, at truly affordable rents.
New private tenancies will be for 3 years, with limits on rent rises
Keeping tax and National Insurance payments as they are unless you are pretty well off.
Increasing the minimum wage to £10 an hour, for everyone aged 18 or over
Giving more money to local authorities, protecting libraries, post offices, pubs and local shops

Of course, many/most of these policies will provide benefits to us all – the many.
