I'm not quite sure how I'm going to manage, to be honest. Unless I can find a third job during the weekend and get my kids to go to their dad's then. I will literally never see them.

Well it’s part of the ‘trimming down’ of the benefit bill
As soon as they want to re structure and name change that’s always always disguising cuts

It was on the conservative manifesto when we had our last ( two) general elections
The ultimate aim is to dismantle the benefit system altogether Either you support yourself through work or if you can’t because your old ill or disabled your family is supposed to look after you - remember David Cameron and his ‘big society’
Well this is it!!!

If you don’t like it the blame lies with people who voted conservative
