Given that Stephen Crabb, the homophobic fundamentalist Christian who is also Work and Pensions Secretary, is putting himself forward for Tory leadership, his dedicated thread should probably be given over to that. So here's a new DWP one. I apologise for not sticking to the standard sweary format, but I thought I'd make it safe for work.
The UN Committee for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights has published its UK assessment, and it isn't pretty.
The Canary summarises the conclusions here. Notable is the recommendation that all benefit cuts since 2012 be reversed, something that many Labour MPs would do well to take on board.
None of this has any legal force, unfortunately.
