Looking for brief quotes on changes to Universal Credit announced in the mini-budget - ie. look for more work or see your benefits cut.

How will this impact people? Is it fair? etc

This budget did lots for business owners and the wealthy, but offered nothing up to the poorest in society. It felt very Thatcherite in its content and presentation. Asking those looking for work to pull their socks up won't go down well when giving a tax cut to those earning over £150,000.
