The point being Thatcher brought in housing benefit and incapacity benefit to deal with her closure of heavy industry .....instead of providing jobs

But 20 years later her party under Iain Duncan Smith cut back on one and changed the name of the other

So if its OK for the Tories to change its OK for Labour to row back too , especially as this makes economic sense
