 Having already flagged he wants to cut #benefits, #JeremyHunt looks to be sugaring the pill by aiming those cuts on out-of-work benefits;

by increasing the sanctions on these who 'refuse' to look for work while on unemployment benefit, while also putting up the #minumumwage, today he'll be using a narrative of being on the #workers side rather than the 'shirkers' side.

Any one on minimum wage who thinks #JeremyHunt is on their side only needs to look around to see that's really not the case!
