Paraphrasing a tweet is not completely remote from quoting someone verbatim. Same principal.

Given he studied at Oxford and has worked on several radio and TV current & political affairs shows would, I feel, give him just as much awareness of budget contents as anyone else outwith the respective cabinets & shadow cabinets, and financial industries. We all have a right for our opinions.

Perhaps I should quote a Tory comedian like Jim Davison or Roy Chubby Brown. Then again perhaps not.

I own part of a house (the mortgage provider the rest), I have a relatively well paid job (which I work very hard to sustain), my children are at school and thankfully I am not ill, disabled or indeed young by any stretch of the imagination.

However this doesn't make me think that all benefits recipients are wasters and I am 100% against cuts that make the difficult lives of the unemployed, disabled or the young even tougher.

Elected governments should, in my book, govern the whole populous not just those who are able to provide mostly for themselves.

Perhaps I am guilty of naivety in thinking we are all in this together. To paraphrase someone else's words.
