Labour ‘will reverse any tax credits cuts’
McDonnell promises to roll back Tory attack
A FUTURE Labour government will reverse any Tory cuts to tax credits, shadow chancellor John McDonnell said yesterday.
Mr McDonnell committed to restoring the benefit for low-paid workers and poor families if Chancellor George Osborne goes ahead with plans to cut them from April 2016.
The announcement came ahead of tomorrow’s opposition day debate in Parliament on the cuts and marks a transformation two months after former acting leader Harriet Harman ordered Labour MPs to back the cuts.
