  I don't do politics or have as good an understanding of financial matters as some. I do understand that I have less money in MY pocket and that this has worsened during this political administration. All my utility bills have risen, wages have not, leaving me a short fall that is eating away at my savings.
  By all means invest in business BUT do it in such a way that any investment has strict terms and conditions attached to it, i.e. it is not for fat cat salaries and is used to train/ support the workers and their conditions.
  Local authorities should ONLY be able to reduce housing benefit IF they have SUITABLE accommodation to offer the tenant and it is refused on unreasonable grounds.
  Visiting the Job Centre daily has not been thought thro'. It would cost the claiment £5 a day in bus fares to attend from my village. Would they have the right to claim this back? Or, heaven forbid, do they take more food out of their childrens mouth. Does not take an economist to work that one out.
  It is high time we put some heart back into policies, it ain't all about money.
