    may i ask "why all the back stabbing"

    I can confirm that signing up for UJM is not mandatory. Their is nothing under regulation 18 The Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 that states compulsory enrollment

    The job centre can give a direction to enroll on the UJM site, but you can tick a box and deny the job centre staff access to your data contained within the site.

    DATA PROTECTION ACT COMES INTO PLAY
    European directive on "tracking cookies"
    also article 8 of the convention on human rights as well.

    UK legislation has to be compatible with EU law

    we all realise the contempt smith has for EU law, which i might add is also UK law

    Statutory legislation is the law, the likes of smith or any job centre staff cant interpret it any different, even if they say different

    So far as I am aware regulation 8 still says you need to take Two steps per week. The law does not define what these are, nor does it stipulate any time periods.
