Poor get even poorer

According to today’s Scotland on Sunday the truth about what the current government are doing to the poor of not only Edinburgh, but the whole of the country:

Chancellor Gordon Brown’s tax-and-spend agenda is hurting Middle Britain while failing to help the most vulnerable. The poorest 5.8 million Britons are the only group whose take-home incomes are falling, according to figures buried in a 357-page Department of Work & Pensions (DWP) document.

This highlights Gordon Brown’s lie last week when he called the Institute for Fiscal Studies report (more info here) “misleading”. Who’s misleading who Gordon?

From Scotland on Sunday: Poor get even poorer in Brown’s Britain
