Govt is pushing us into yet more damaging austerity, in the name of political ideology rather than economic necessity. Making "difficult decisions" as Chancellor said time and time again in #AutumnStatement is just code for hitting the poorest people hardest.

Maybe instead of YOU trying to think up "the least bad solution" you should TALK TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE STUDIED THIS ISSUE FOR OVER A DECADE. This issue has been studied. Repeatedly.
