Why does it have to be benefits that are cut? I would like to see MPs salaries halved. Health and safety removed. And QE spent on tax cuts. This would enable the economy to grow and get rid of the deficit that way.

And cut bodyguards for Tony Blair too.

There's a saying from the Bible "the worker is worth their pay". But you could apply that either way when it comes to MPs
