The shadow business secretary has hit out at the government for plans to 'cut disability payments'. Responding to the proposed cuts, Andrew Griffith said: "When you're spending taxpayer's money, you should always do so wisely and if there's a capacity to cut the welfare budget then they should have started with that instead of being forced into it."

00:00Well if there's capacity to cut the welfare budget it's a great shame that
00:04the Chancellor didn't start there because instead
00:07she's put up taxes that has crashed the economy
00:10and as a result she's having to come back round again
00:14but having taken a huge amount of tax off businesses
00:18and pushing more people into unemployment so she's got it completely
00:21the wrong way round. I think when you're spending taxpayers money
00:24you should always do so wisely and if there's capacity to cut the welfare
00:28budget as Labour are now saying then they should have started with
00:31that not having been forced into it.
