Letters: One nation, except for the poor and vulnerable
So in these troubled times, Britain’s so called “hard-working people” are set for a tax cut as well as reduction in inheritance tax (the tax on good luck) but the working poor are going to be lumped with tax credit reductions, sinisterly masked by the overdue minimum wage increase. As for the vulnerable people on welfare, they are set for further destruction with extreme cuts. Poor students, too, will suffer as a result of the end of the maintenance allowance.
