ICAEW is worried we are going to see the same operational problems arising that we saw for tax credits - especially for those with fluctuating incomes.

Forget guilt or innocence, if you happen to be a Pakistani male aged, say 18-34, walking down the same street as a terror suspect, you're fair game.
Labour MPs should support our MEP colleagues in saying that until the present right-wing anti-growth, anti-jobs ideology that controls Brussels is replaced by a more balanced politics the proposed budget settlement should be rejected.
Sickening though the thought of sharing genetics with them may be, rapists remain human beings. A person's humanity can neither be removed nor relinquished - no matter how disgusting their crime. So if we consider, as per the UDHR, that the right to vote is a natural, human right, the only limit can be humanity
If the bones found beneath a Leicestershire car park belong to King Richard III they will be buried in the city's cathedral, the government has confir...

This latest attack on recipients of housing benefit and the born and unborn children of the poor are merely the latest in a wider and continuing class war, unleashed when this coalition government came to power in 2010.
The we-of-the-future will look back uncomprehendingly on the self-serving we-of-the-present and ask despairingly how it came to pass that our leaders were not challenged mightily by us, the electorate, about their failure to address the most pressing issues of our time.
The questions posed by Bristol's youth reflected a range of concerns and took a detour from the usual employment and housing-centric topics popular during former hustings.
In dark times like these it's doubly important that we don't forget who's really pulling the strings- we need programmes like TTOI more than ever.
The fact that in the 21st century, clear discrimination is still taking place in society is nothing more than saddening.

With shocking heights of unemployment it is important to take a serious look at where the real opportunities may lie for young people. In a time where there is a growing need for creativity and rapid cultural change, more young people could be looking forward to promising careers in creative roles and/or entrepreneurship.
The decision to extradite Talha Ahsan and keep McKinnon is bad for all of us. It undermines the values that the majority of British citizens hold dear and will damage the trust that many British ethnic minorities feel towards their country.
We don't currently live in a country that practices population control, and the poor children that the government seeks to punish simply for existing are already here and a part of our society. We can't send them back, nor should we wish them away.
The UK could leave the European Union under plans due to be considered by the Commons on Friday. Legislation which would repeal 1972's European Com...
On one hand the YES campaign needs to win over more people in two years than they have in the last 30 combined. However, another way of looking at it is that if everyone who supports independence converts at least one friend then they'll win by a landslide.
For the sake of all children, and specifically to halt the hurt to an estimated-average 50 children at risk or victims of female genital mutilation in Britain every day of the entire year, we must demand to know right now exactly who in child safe-guarding is responsible for what.
David Cameron is using an iPad that was donated by Apple, according to a list of gifts disclosed by the Government. The Prime Minister - known to b...

Following last Friday's shambolic afternoon in which he supposedly attempted to sit in first class with a standard class ticket, George Osborne stumbl...
The prime minister is a development champion at home. He has yet to show whether he will do so in Europe. He made a promise to the world's poorest. Today he can deliver.
For the overwhelming majority who take illegal drugs, drugs laws lack credibility and the way they are enforced is inconsistent and confusing, making them an ineffective barrier. There is tension between politics and science, which draws the drugs classification system into disrepute. Politicians do not want to "send the wrong signal" about how harmful drugs are and so resist reclassification of drugs downwards whilst scientists want to be objective about relative harm, even if it means downgrading a drug. As the drug classification system is a fundamental part of UK drugs laws, this brings the law as a whole into disrepute.
