Corbyn takes lead over May in poll of who would make best PM

Conservative cruel benefits cap causes “real misery for no good purpose,” declared unlawful
The Tory Government, as was, has been dealt another huge blow as the High Court judged that it’s benefit cap is illegal and unfairly discriminates against single parents who have young children. This will cause the Conservative Party even more headaches and will probably force, another, u-turn of Government policy. The cap limited the total benefit a household could receive to £20k and up to £23k in the capital. The case was bravely brought by four lone parents who believed...
