MCDONNELL IN CREDIT

UNIVERSAL Credit is damning proof Conservative austerity continues when heartless Incomes Slasher Esther McVey is said to have informed Cabinet colleagues that half of single parents and two-thirds of working families with kids will lose £2,400 a year.

Spiteful McVile’s propaganda unit usually quibbles about precise figures yet folk at the sharp end know Universal Cuts is a hardship increasing programme short-changing grafters.

Labour’s increasingly influential Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell declaring the party would scrap Universal Credit is a recognition what was billed as simplification by merging six benefits is a Tory Trojan Horse to wipe out billions of pounds going into households.

Experts calculate three-quarters of Conservative welfare cuts are still to be imposed, so Theresa May danced on the misery of families with her lies about ending austerity.

Cruella de Vil displayed more compassion to Dalmatians than the Prime Minister shows for people she is condemning to just about managing on less.

Len McCluskey is a tough Liverpudlian who can look after himself but I’m delighted he overcame first a smear campaign then a legal assault to remain head of the powerful Unite union. The Left’s stronger with robust voices like his and bad losers scampering to the courts isn’t solidarity. It’s sour grapes.
