Joseph gets Â£240 per fortnight. Wonder what he spends that on then ? That's more than I get in a month and I work part-time.

Some of the article is misleading, all benefits are paid in arrears, if you swap from one benefit to another there is no gap as the last payment of the previous benefit is paid after you transfer. Regardless, the distribution of wealth is appalling in many nations, especially the UK who basically follow the USA model whenever possible. If anyone thinks the NHS is free at the point of delivery should visit the dentist! £56.30 for treatment is 28 meals for many people. There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music.
