No less classy than giving taxpayers money to people with assets worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

 

It is amusing to see Tories kicking off about an attempt to cut the benefit bill.

Wrong again . A very lot of people missing out have  nothing like the assets you claim.

Maybe you’d like to quantify “a very lot”.

 

And also consider that all of that “very lot” are getting a pension rise in excess of  twice the benefit cut.

 

When you’ve done that, do let us know how we balance the books after your mates gave all the money away to their mates.

I’d prefer an actual number.

 

You know, a fact or two and a link to a reputable source to back it up.

No, but I’d like you to back up your claim

You mean like our current government have just done.  Caving in to their union puppet masters with their ludicrous pay rises to their precious public sector. 

How much taxpayer money has been peed away on that.

If you want decent public services, then they need paying for properly.

 

If the previous administration hadn’t given our money away to Michelle Mone, or the landlord of Matt Hancock’s local, then there might be a bit more to go round.

 

Unfortunately, that’s what they did. That, added to the usual propensity of Tory voters to try to drive the benefits bill down all adds up to a whiff of hypocrisy on their part.
