A DWP crackdown that will lead to more benefit sanctions on jobseekers has been blasted by a key committee.
A new law on February 8 - passed without any scrutiny or a vote - slashed the amount of time before Brits are forced to accept a job outside their “preferred sector”.
Jobseekers can now be sanctioned if they refuse to take a job four weeks after starting their claim, down from three months.
