Hmmm, it is actually 250,000 'including' 50,000 children and it is also 'relative' poverty, (government's own figures) so let's not make up "facts".

Having said that it is not the best move even though many of us support reining in the welfare budget, which is through the roof.

Obviously takes after her fellow (ex-) MP Amesbury .......

Next up according to some pundits - "pension reform", as Crommers has already warned us about.

And still the stubborn refusal to raise basic rates of tax. Most commentators I've read today (the less hysterical ones) say she'll almost certainly have to do so in the Autumn.

I know that the "gusts of world affairs" are running against them, but this Labour government seems so blinkered .....
