Spin it however you want, any IDIOT knows it was LABOUR that left this country in the worst economic mess it has ever been in - THEY were the ones in charge for 13 years so why try to apportion blame elsewhere? Labour couldn't organise a piss up at a brewery.

As regards child benefit it should be means tested and only the very poorest families should receive it, I would say with an income under £30k, and then only for the first two to stop feckless parents having kids they can't afford to look after. All child benefits should be scrapped for economic migrant's children NOT living in the UK. At least this government is making a start, but they need to implement much more savage cuts, especially in the bloated public sector.

It's time to pay the piper after 13 years of Labour profligacy.
