A useful thread on how UK social security has changed since 2010 (would also be also great for teaching). Worth paying special attention to how reforms and cuts have hit the incomes of working-age people⬇️

New @resfoundation report out today on the state of social security, by @Alex__Clegg on where 14 years of reforms have left us and what challenges await the next Government. Thread below.
