If you’re here, head over here to Boycott Workfare for a list of actions planned against workfare and benefit sanctions this week.

As Boycott Workfare says:

“Things are very wrong: each month 70,000 people face hunger and hardship due to benefit stoppages – ‘sanctions’. Millions of hours of work which should be paid are being replaced by workfare. But we’re taking action and having an impact.

This week, from 2-8 December,  join thousands of others across the UK to push back against sanctions and workfare – with action online and on your high street. Here’s the latest list of actions planned across the UK.”

Also:

Here are some longer interviews with people who have been sanctioned.

Here’s another story about a man who was sanctioned. I’ve compared this with the story of an MP who used public money to heat his horses’ stables. This is the world we’re living in.

Here’s a very detailed CAB report on people who have been sanctioned and the problems that has caused them.
