"Is there evidence that these have worked elsewhere?
If they were doing this when unemployment was falling & there were lots of jobs, you can sort of go 'ok, I can see why, how do we encourage people into jobs? But when unemployment is rising & there are fewer & fewer roles, it looks a lot like demonising people who are doing their best."
