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.

Labour may have been in charge but its de regulation and unfettered greed (Thatchers baby) that got us in this mess and ordinary hard working people that are picking up the tab! Bloated public sector? you have obviousley never worked for the public sector have u.

And families on 30k shouldnt have to pay for this mess either, £30k is **** all for a family living in London or other areas down south when they have ever increasing housing costs/childcare costs etc

the utter savagery of these cuts is ideological and less about paying off the deficit and tax evaders and bankers need to be paying a higher share
