Seething quietly to myself reading about the current "crackdown on benefits" bollocks.
Heartily recommend directly contacting your MP if they are Labour. There are a few that are antsy about this one (with good reason) & well reasoned, firm messages from their constituents, pointing out that a more appropriate way to fund their policies is by taxing the rich, not targeting the poor, can only help push them in the right direction.
