Reader's letter: "Universal Credit cut will mean real deprivation"

I cannot believe this reduction is still going ahead. The Conservative party are so out of touch with real life.

This cut will deeply affect the people who have been receiving it. It will mean real deprivation. Having to choose between heating or food at a time when both these commodities’ prices are rising drastically.

There will probably be deaths because of this cut.

It is a deplorable decision.
