The MP for Twickenham is urging the Chancellor to stop cuts to the Universal Credit Uplift planned for next month.

Munira Wilson says 11% of families across her constituency face being left worse off by £20 per week if it goes ahead. 

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has estimated it will force 500,000 people, almost half of them children, into poverty.

Ms Wilson claims over 6,000 working families in the borough will be harmed.
