I do not consider the welfare changes proposed by the Conservatives and Lib Dems will help people back to work.

Quite the contrary, it seems the proposals will ‘help’ employers exploit those who are otherwise finding it difficult/impossible to find work – like myself (and not for the want of trying).

Perhaps Cllr Mitchell, the PM and his deputy would themselves sign up to work for a council for free or be prepared to take a salary of £65.45 a week like those who receive Jobseekers’ Allowance.
