Catherine West MP MP for Hornsey & Wood Green and Labour Candidate for Hornsey & Friern Barnet
Over the weekend I joined Council Leader Cllr Peray Ahmet and local Labour Party members to campaign against the cruel Tory cut to Universal Credit which takes £1,000 a year from 12,790 struggling families in Hornsey & Wood Green.
With food and energy prices soaring, tax rises on low income workers and this Universal Credit cut families face a devastating cost of living crisis this winter.
Watch my speech in Parliament on how Tory tax rises hit those who can least afford it.
This situation is not inevitable. These are political choices – yet again, the Tories make the wrong ones.
