In a week in which Universal Credit has rarely been out of the news, we talk to two Labour Councillors about the impact of UC on people in Birmingham. On this podcast, Cory talks to Nicky Brennan and John Cotton about the disastrous rollout of the new benefit system and what changes need to be made.
