Wouldn't be the first time a government has spun stories.
The fact is most tories think EVERYONE claiming any benefits is a lazy scrounging low life, has no disability, workshy, have kids to claim cash, claiming bastard. Pensioners excepted.

They all do and when you write to them and question what they've said they use a little rule called Parliamentary Protocol not to reply (unless you live in their constituency).

If we were all on ?100k a year and had zero unemployment the Guardian would still be whining. The only people I know who read it are "rich" socialists, which is a contradiction...

This is complete gibberish. The point Jonone is making is that Tory politicians are comprehensively lying in a pre-planned, scripted way.
Yes, to varying extents all parties are economical with the truth. However it is the task of the media to inform us when politicians are lying.
Don't knock it. Instead try to understand what is being said then possibly you wouldn't be so incredibly ill-informed.

All politicians lie ? on both sides of the fence. It's usually called the election manifesto.

Which is basically every waking hour of their lives.
Some of the more mendacious little scrotes like Michael Gove and Ian Duncan-Smith probably lie in their sleep as well.
