If Labour had an ounce of sense, they would have cut back on benefits as well.
The country owes 4.3 trillion pounds. At the same time, you can claim housing benefit even if you do actually have a job. Not a menial job either, a decent one. Councils are having to buy huge houses to home people in because the law requires that each child has its own bedroom.

The benefits system needs to be in place. The benefits system we currently have is too open to abuse in a manner we can no longer afford as a country.
