Tory PM robbing poorest families, slams Harman

DAVID CAMERON was accused of robbing Britain’s poorest families yesterday after backing cuts to in-work benefits.

Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman made the charge over the Tory PM’s plans to cut tax credits for three million low-paid workers.

Mr Cameron claimed on Monday that welfare spending was robbing the next generation, but Ms Harman said he was “robbing from children who are in families who are facing tax credit cuts.”
