Some of Britain's poorest families were hit by more than 100 unfair spending cuts during the first 100 days of the new coalition Government, a TUC analysis revealed in August.
The research was published on the day the coalition marked its 100th day in office and showed that cuts which impact more on the poorest families have been made across the board in education, health, housing, welfare and social care.
Rather than swingeing cuts, the TUC believes the Government should focus on alternative ways of tackling the deficit, including a Robin Hood Tax on financial transactions that could raise up to £20 billion a year.
