This was mainly paid for by reducing benefit for single householders under the age of 25.
Apart from Child Benefit and the Christmas Bonus, to my knowledge, she never failed to uprate benefits with inflation.
This lot have put in place policies that have led to people with heart conditions being sent back to work and dying, suicides with the worry and people with cancer being told to look for work- disgusting.
Yup, she started the me, me, me greedy society that we still have today.
