Bring back tax credits, and get rid of universal credit.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Universal credit is leaving everyone without a penny to stand on, and the dwp say the system works and gets people into jobs and stay in their jobs, but most of these people have been forced into jobs that pay minimum wage and receive no extra help hardly scrapping enough money to pay for bills.
Just ask anyone on universal credit what they think of it.
