IS THIS TRUE? Maybe Not

I placed this on my site yesterday here is a reply I received

I suspect these are old news items that might well have been true at the time (but not necessarily at the same time!) and it is why the Government has introduced a welfare benefits cap which means that no family can receive any more than a total of £26,000 per year in benefits (which includes child tax credits and housing benefit).

So this Government are trying to do something to take us away from the insanity from the last Labour Government

IS THIS TRUE?
