It is dictatorship, not democracy, if the Tories force the Lords to support tax credit cuts
‘The whole point of the House of Lords is that it should be a part of Parliament containing experts who advise the government of the day – most especially when it is making a mistake.
We all know that the plan to cut tax credits isn’t a mistake; it’s a premeditated attack on the UK’s lowest-earners, no matter what the Treasury might say. £15 billion in savings for taxpayers? Which taxpayers would they be, exactly?
The cut is certainly a bad idea – and it is right that the Lords should oppose it.
So the Tory backlash, with threats to suspend the Lords or flood the Upper House with Conservative peers who will do as they are told, is utterly unacceptable.’
