ED MILIBAND was charged with aiding the destruction of Britain’s universal welfare system yesterday after revealing plans to strip struggling youngsters of jobseekers’ cash. 

The Labour leader said access to jobseeker’s allowance for Britain’s 100,000 unemployed 18 to 21-year-olds will be cut completely if his party wins next year’s general election. 

They would instead receive a “youth allowance” that would be means-tested based on their parents’ income and dependent on taking part in training schemes.
