Listen out for Rachel Reeves using the phrase “tough decisions” in Wednesday’s Spending Review announcement.

Then compare what economic decisions she makes to this commentary from Green’s Zack Polanski.

Did she tax the assets of the very rich or cut the benefits of the poor?

In today's Green Paper, the government has announced cuts to #disability benefits targeting some of the most vulnerable people in society.

Law Centres believe this is cruel and unnecessary.
A quote from Dan Manville of Greater Manchester Law Centre which reads: "'These cuts are nothing short of horrendous. A large proportion of our welfare rights clients are likely to see a significant reduction in their weekly income. “The most vulnerable in society are being forced to shoulder the costs of the government’s strategic choices while corporate profits go untaxed.'"
