This hasn't been covered much, today they are debating the changes that will reduce payments to disabled people with a partner that earns after a certain time period.

What does the PH community think? I don't want to influence opinion!

They want to cap benefits to unemployed families to 26k? WTF! That's a 40k salary before tax! And you need two 40k salaries to fund that family. No wonder the UK is skint.

To quote the Guardian today, this is "a crowd pleasing announcement at the Conservative Party conference".

More than anything, they need to shout from the rooftops about this kind of stat.
