HARD-WORKING Brits shared their stories yesterday of anguish and anger at the Tories’ tax credit cuts, urging Lords to throw out the vicious changes.

Business-owners, single mothers, artists and disabled entrepreneurs were some of the 3.2 million people expected to be left struggling to make ends meet when the policy comes into force next April.

They responded to a drive by the People’s Assembly, which asked anyone who will be hit by the tax credit cuts to come forward with their stories to show Downing Street what the reality will be for many if these cuts go ahead.
