DWP finally publishes long-awaited Universal Credit documents

"A basic tenet of a healthy democracy is open dialogue and transparency." - Peter Fenn

For four years the Department for Work and Pensions fought to keep documents relating to the early stages of Universal Credit out of the public domain. Today we report that after a lengthy and costly legal battle it has finally caved in and published the papers. 

Elsewhere, we have an article which reveals that the Home Office is using findings of a rubbished report to send refugees back to Eritrea. This is despite human rights groups arguing that military service remains compulsory and indefinite in the country, and that returned refugees are at serious risk of persecution.

And finally, with the Labour party seeing a surge in new membership under Jeremy Corbyn, we have a piece which asks if those affiliating to the party as supporters are likely to contribute the same effort to campaigning as members do.
