The BBC’s Politics Live has examined the welfare dilemma so let’s analyse the results.
Presenter Jo Coburn was joined by panellists Lauren Edwards MP (Labour), Iain Duncan Smith (Conservative)[pictured], Taj Ali and Guto Harri, along with autistic guest Alex.
There were a few particularly annoying falsehoods, like the claim that benefit claimants don’t pay any tax. Star of the debate – for This Writer – was Taj Ali.
Here’s the analysis – who do you support?
