Tory MPs hit out at cuts to tax credits
New backbencher in passionate attack on Osborne’s policy
THE Conservative Party descended into chaos yesterday, with Tory MPs attacking George Osborne’s proposed cuts to tax credits.
The rebellion against the Chancellor’s flagship policy was led by Heidi Allen, who attacked it in her maiden speech after she could “sit on her hands no longer.”
South Cambridgeshire’s new MP passionately denounced her party’s “single-minded determination” to cut £4.4 billion from working tax credits.
