"An MP should be ashamed that we need foodbanks in the 21st century in the sixth richest country in the world. Tax reductions are all well and good but if your wages have not gone up for 4 years and indirect taxes like VAT have increased then you are still worse off, especially when private utilities increase their prices at will.
God knows how people on benefits through no fault of their own get by. And we have a Chancellor who wants to cut their welfare payments as though it was the poor who caused the crisis and deficit rather than the bankers and speculators. He should show as much energy in taxing and regulating them as he does in punishing the poor."
