David Cameron breaks election pledge: 30th April I will not cut child benefit - then in his first budget he does!!!
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/budget-2015-watch-david-cameron-6033885 David 'Slick' Cameron goes back on his word after only 2 months time - what hope now?? Mr Cameron made his promise in the BBC Question Time election special on April 30 - and it's not gone unnoticed by Labour figures. Leadership contender Yvette Cooper declared on Twitter: "David Cameron told David Dimbleby that child tax credit will not fall - today he cut it." The exchange came when an audience member asked Mr Cameron to 'put to bed' rumours he'd cut child tax credit, or restrict child benefit to two children. The idea was put forward in a report by the respected Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank. He replied: "Thank you Jenny for that question. "No, I don't want to do that. This report that's out today is something I rejected at the time as Prime Minister and I reject it again today." Host David Dimbleby then pushed him on the detail, saying some people were clearly worried. The PM replied: "Child tax credit we increased by £450." "And it's not going to fall?" asked the presenter. The PM confirmed: "It's not going to fall."
