Austerity for who?

David Cameron has refused to commit to maintaining child benefit and winter fuel allowances at the same level as the Labour Government.


He has one rule for millionaires and another for parents and pensioners. He can promise a tax giveaway for 3,000 millionaires yet now he won't give a "running commentary" on his plans for millions of middle income parents who receive child benefit, nor millions of pensioners who rely on winter fuel allowance to heat their homes.

He talks of an “age of austerity” but he must answer the question “austerity for who?”

Gerry Ryan said "I don't want the most vulnerable in society paying the price of a Tory government. Labour has a great track record of increasing payments for pensioners and children. These payments are vital to protect the elderly in the cold of winter"
