Mental health charity Mind took down Esther McVey’s claim about Universal Credit and it’s devastating stuff
Mental health charity Mind has corrected work and pensions minister Esther McVey for telling the House of Commons it supported reforms to Universal Credit.
McVey, who has previously faced calls to resign for misleading MPs over welfare changes, included Mind in a list of charities which she said welcomed the changes.
So Mind thought it would do something about that by tweeting what she told MPs – and then telling everyone what it really thinks.
Yesterday the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions @EstherMcVey1 mentioned us in a list of organisations who had recognised and welcomed changes to #UniversalCredit. We thought it was important to set the record straight. pic.twitter.com/ATZqKqLHzO

We remain clear that new #UniversalCredit regulations don't go far enough. We won't stop campaigning until we get a benefits system that really works for people with mental health problems.

We need MPs to vote against these regulations which create a real risk for people with mental health problems. And we need as many people as possible to join us. Find out more about the campaign here > https://t.co/Xoaw2nIzfZ
