If Labour had been in power Universal Credit would have been scrapped or radically changed as to its more cruel time waiting and complicated claiming procedure.

So a likely fairer, more compassionate and more generous system would have been forthcoming.

Yes, however, I believe if Labour had been in power with universal credit not yet reformed, this extra would have been in place through the pandemic and beyond.

If they hadn't done it, they'd have been crucified hour after hour, day after day, week after week and even month after month.
On TV media, so called newspapers and the harder line Con supporters too.

Rightly so too, because had Labour been in power and haggled like street market traders, like this government is, over this £20, I'd have joined in the criticism of them not doing it and keeping it in place too.
