Feeling the benefit

This year's Conservative Party Conference could well prove to be one of the most important for the party in recent history.  With the Spending Review set to take place on October 20th, the Conferernce could well provide a sounding-board for the party to test public reaction to a number of planned cuts.

 If this is the approach that the Government is taking, then they will be most relieved that they have tested the waters with their proposals to cut child benefit for families where at least one parent is earning over £44,000 a year.
