Labour's cuts to sick and disabled people's benefits will save £5bn.
A 2% wealth tax on those with assets of over £10mn would bring in £24bn.
These cuts are both cruel and unnecessary.

We’re often astounded by the confidence some people speak with on the issue of a 4-day week when they haven’t got the first clue about it.

Pensions minister Emma Reynolds tells Times Radio civil servants won't get a four-day week. Asked why not, she replies: "Because we're not living in the 1970s."
Told it could save gov £21.4m per year, she says: "I don’t believe them. I'm giving you some very clear answers."
