If one of us misrepresented our living arrangements in order to claim 40k worth of income support or Housing Benefit, we'd be looking at a prison sentence, not just being demoted for a while and then reinstated at the earliest opportunity. <br /><br />At a time when many families are struggling, benefits are being cut in real terms (both for those in and out of work) and the disabled are struggling with the shambles of ESA assessments and the threat to DLA, having David Laws in charge of your manifesto just makes the leadership look horribly out of touch.
