Labour says this is a Spring Statement

there are going to be far deeper cuts to welfare than were announced last week. Apparently, it wont affect the poor, let's see how that pans out

with Labour.

I'm hoping to hear they're closing migrant hotels and housing them in tents now the summer's coming, in a cost-cutting measure. But then I'm quite the optimist.

So as far as I can see there was nothing in her Spring Statement that had not already be trailed, apart from the fine tuning of how she is going to squeeze the Pips out of people on PiP.

Is that a good summary, I was getting my hair done so didn't hear her live but I think that is the gist?

Yes, a nice old lady in Burnley
seated at an indoor cafe
said "Get Labour Out"

[Cherry Christmas]

So Rachel got her original figures wrong and the OBR estimated her original welfare cuts would bring in 3.5 billion rather than the 5 she estimated so hence the further swinging cuts, as one Labour MP put it, balancing the books on broken backs


I am sure Liam will be along shortly to say this is great as the disabled will be able to try to work...good luck with them getting a job though

250,000 people including 50 thousand children will be pushed into poverty by the end of Parliament ...and this is a Labour government, the Country is fecked
