Need reminding how troubled Universal Credit is? MPA puts it in special 'reset' category

It can't help that it's run by the famously incompetent Smith - in a culture of faith-based evidence, concealment of failure, obliviousness to criticism, and persecuting the messenger - on behalf of people who hate claimants, and funded by Osborne, who evidently hates anyone without a few spare million in their back pocket and runs the economy accordingly. Why would you expect any better?

WANTED: New head of crashingly expensive, error-prone and frankly cursed one-dole-to-rule-them-all system

If Smith is genuinely trying to help anyone (other than himself) he's even more useless and deluded than he appears to be.
