Under a Conservative government those on incapacity benefits who genuinely cannot work will get more help than they're currently getting. The frontline NHS will be ring fenced - a commitment Labour have not made. There will be an increase in the basic state pension and it will be linked with earnings so that pensioners get more every year. This is paid for by bringing the rise of the retirement age forward. Increasing the working tax credit for couples to abolish the shambles of an idea that it's financially better for couples to live apart than together. A commitment to keep the minimum wage - even mentioned in keynote speech. Public sector pay freeze for 1 year for those earning above £18,000. A tax increase for those in the highest tax band from 40% to 50%. A 5% cut in ministerial pay and then frozen for the entire parliament and an initial 10% cut of MPs.
Just some of the commitments so far - rather contradictory to your post Mancie.  |
I might be missing something here, but can you clarify the point that people on Incapacity Benefit who are in genuine need, will get more under the tory's than they are currently getting.? What have the Consevative's actually said about benefit amounts?
