He announced last week that asylum seekers will no longer be entitled to receive it, if that helps you grasp how far behind the curve they are (most economic migrants won't even be aware they were entitled to it, so it won't make any difference in that direction) - ah you said, full time employment. That's different. I'm pretty certain there's provision in tax credits and other in work benefits for the low paid though

Support does of course come in other guises (doesn't matter what name you call it by way of a policy) its a backdoor way of trying to relieve the pressures on low income young people brought about the crisis in private sector rented housing.

Whatever 'scheme' you call it, the effect is the same. The objective is to take a way a burden that would otherwise appear on employers. That's laudable. But so that private sector landlords are the ultimate beneficiaries? Come on.

I'd rather government take £300 in tax a month than have us giving the same amount to landlords
