Are the Bishops Right to Vote Against a Benefit Cap?

To me it’s what the statistics say, but then we don’t have access to full figures.  I would like to see a database on the Internet of all those who get benefits of over the £26,000 level.  It would obviously be anonimised completely. We would then see how many people lived in a particular town, who got more than £50,000 for example.

But I’m interested to see John Bird, the founder of The big Issue has written in The Times, this morning.

The title of the piece is These bishops are not so Christian after all and it has a sub-title of A benefit cap is needed.  You don’t help the poor by making them dependent on handouts.

You should buy the paper today just to read this article on page 20.
