Opponents of the ‘shameful’ plans to cut tax credits, both Labour and Liberal Democrat members, have urged to drop the plan after a staggering House of Lords defeat in Hastings and Rother. A majority of the House of Lords passed a motion on Monday that demanded the cuts to be delayed until a fuller analysis of their impact is undertaken, along with measures providing full transitional protection for low income families for three years.
Acceding to the opponents of the changes, more than three million families could be affected and some of them could even loose up to £1,300 a year. The number two candidate in Hastings, Labour’s Sarah Owen, and Rye’s Conservative MP Amber Rudd, called the vote in the Lords a ‘great news’ and described the cuts as ‘shameful’ and ‘unjustifiable’ on Twitter. She wrote that “big defeat for govt and a big relief for low paid workers.”
Rye Liberal Democrats’ Nick Perry also mentioned that he is ‘glad’ to see so much opposition to the changes in Hastings, while welcoming the new House of Lords ‘back to the drawing board.’ However, he pointed out that people should know that the Labour Party could have backed his party’s ‘fatal’ motion to kill off the cuts completely. Meanwhile, chairman Tim Macpherson mentioned at Labour Party annual gathering earlier this month that “the people of Rother need the Labour Party to function as an effective opposition to these cruel cuts, and continue to campaign for a fairer and more equal society.”
