Dave has rejected the plan from IDS to limit child benefit to the first two in any family which would have saved 1 billion quid so the question remains as to where the cuts will be made to make up the 12 billion quid savings.

Unsurprisingly the low paid will take a big hit here.

they are lowering the limit which is good as I wish in my house we earned that much between us. If they put up the minimum wage also then it will be better and more incentive to work. They need to do something.

By most people's reckoning, yesterday's Pro debt rally attracted a mere 30 odd thousand helpfully led by a rich singer who uses accountants to advise her on how to save as much of her money as possible.
Oh the irony.
