I think perhaps you might be wrongly informed regarding labour on Social Security. Check out page 53 on Labour's manifesto regarding Social Security below, Jess is right:

Of course, going on the tories past record, whether Labour puts those changes into effect or not, assuming they get in, is another matter.
I can clearly remember Cameron declaring to Parliament, in Parliament, that disabled people would be uneffected by the bedroom tax, yet over 60% of Social Housing tenants affected by the bedroom tax ARE disabled. He was either lying through his teeth (it is a criminal offense to lie to Parliament) and is a criminal, or so ignorant of his own party's policies and effects he was/is a total incompetent.
Personally, I hope Labour don't get in because I believe things have gone to far regarding cuts and so-called austerity, which unsurprisingly only affects those on low incomes. When the full effects of past cuts really come home to roost then being in power will be a poisoned chalice and a half. Brexit will be the least of it.
Let the tories, whose ideological drivel will cause so much damage regardless of whose in power, carry the can.
This is how much of a cynic I have become, and I am not proud of it. I'm with Claudius, the roman emperor, who is reputed to have said, "Let the poisions rise up," about the extent of corruption.
I wouldn't be at all if Theresa May actually wants to lose this election... I wouldn't want JAM's turning sour on my watch, and they will, with what's coming in with UC.
