I, like many others on the other threads, have been affected by tax credit cuts. I get working & child tax credits (single, p/t worker, 2 children) and will lose over £1400 net a year, just like many others. I work for the NHS, this is equivalent to losing 2 months net pay.
I'm hearing pretty much the same thing from lots of other people. People who don't have much money are losing a huge chunk of their income, and yet, it's hardly spoken about in the press. Everyone's saying what a great budget it is, no one is focusing on just how big a chunk of money people are losing. If people on low to mid incomes were going to be hit with a £1400 income tax bill from next year there would be outrage in the media.
AIBU in thinking the press are in on it too?
