This is for many the single most dominant issue, e.g. for those trying to re-claim for the disability living allowances and invalidity benefit.

The thing is David Cameron appears to have received a memo saying – whatever Ed talks about, try to implant in the public’s mind he’s just using it as a soundbite opportunity to make news. Cameron therefore hopes that, if Ed Miliband can avoid making soundbites, he won’t appear on the TV news as a smug, self-groomed, arrogant PR man.

The issue is highlighted by Sue Marsh who wrote after PMQs today the following,

Dear Ed,

Cameron’s photographer???? Is that really the most important issue for those 6 precious questions?

“Mr Cameron, do you think poor students will be deterred by tuition fees of “9000 a year?

“Mr Cameron, where exactly will the 200,000 people shunted out of wealthy areas by the Housing Benefit cap go?”

“Mr Cameron, Was it a defeat to have to pay a 2.9% increase to the EU budget?”

“Mr Cameron, Is the immigration cap going to harm business?”

“Mr Cameron, how many sick and disabled people will suddenly have their benefits stopped after one year?”

“Mr Cameron, Are you actually going to be ABLE to stop paying child benefit to families with a higher rate taxpayer or is the measure, indeed “un-enforcable”?”

You can use those free of charge next week Ed.

Benefit cuts are where it’s at. Whilst it can be argued that the photographer is a public interest, the way in which the benefit cuts has been implemented in the UK, arguably, is shameful. Whatever best intentions of David Cameron to remedy the deficit, does he not realize that he, George Osborne, Danny Alexander and Nick Clegg have accidentally – at least? – made people feel very inadequate, and disenfranchised from society. The post above is taken from Sue Marsh’s “Diary of a Benefit Scrounger” – a site to share information on Welfare cuts, illness, disability and general, current, political thought.
