Depends. If they scrap tax credits and make employers pay a proper wage, it might help in the long run.
They won't do that. They don't want their donors - sorry business owners - denied access to public subsidy whilst at the same time retain the ability to put the blame on the idle feckless poor who have the audacity to take jobs on a minimum wage

The 'cutting benefits in real terms' thing implies to me that the next uplift will be below inflation. A sneaky trick. They did it for several years when first in government to 'make work pay.' That is, to make starvation wages look slightly more tolerable.
My guess is there will be an uplift in the personal allowance to prevent any chance of basic rate state pensioners being dragged into income tax, as that would not play well.

Alan Sugar tried to declare himself non-UK resident for tax purposes — allowing him to avoid £186m payment to HMRC
He didn't know members of the Lords can't do so
He'd have quit had he known and is taking action against advisers
These are the cunts we are dealing with - had this been Lineker or some other BBC employee who was anti-Brexit or pro-immigration it would have been all over the r/w press and Twitterati branding him a traitor
The scale of tax avoidance in the UK, and our facilitation of it, costs nations worldwide billions and billions of pounds. We are the recognised global leader, and this charlatan is just one example. Of course, we recently had Nadhim Zahawi settling with HMRC for a few million, Rees-Mogg shifting his investment funds to Dublin, Sunak paying himself through a trust and declaring his wife non-dom. Meanwhile, their friends in the media, who are based in tax-havens, demonise those on benefits. It is so utterly transparent, yet we have people on here who also, repeatedly, fall in to the trap of ignoring who is truly to blame.These are the cunts we are dealing with - had this been Lineker or some other BBC employee who was anti-Brexit or pro-immigration it would have been all over the r/w press and Twitterati branding him a traitor

Can't Sugar hand his K back? I mean he can be publicly offered and make a public declaration where his priorities lie
