"If you can work, you should work." That's the message from the Conservatives this morning, as they unveil plans to cut benefits by 30% for some people who remain out of work. Those affected would have their money loaded onto a new "Back To Work" card, blocking spending on alcohol, cigarettes and gambling, as well as cash withdrawals. The Conservatives say the plan could affect 350,000 claimants and save more than half a billion pounds a year. #tories #conservatives #politics #benefits #universalcredit Stream Good Morning Britain live, every weekday from 6am on the ITVX πŸ“² http://daytimelink.itv.com/WatchGMBYT Subscribe now for more! http://bit.ly/1NbomQa Like, follow and subscribe to Good Morning Britain!
