CHANGES in April will see 200,000 couples lose working tax credits unless they add at least 50 per cent more hours to a working week. This Government whinged on enough about getting jobs and now, when people get a job, alas they are penalised.
Most firms now offer low hours, so very few will be able to increase their hours.
More madness from the gang of toffs who are running the country.
