DAVID CAMERON evaded a straight question about the impact of Tory tax credit cuts an astonishing six times yesterday.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn asked: “Can he now guarantee to the House and to the wider country that nobody will be worse off next year as a result of cuts to working tax credits?”

Mr Corbyn was grilling the Tory PM after the unpopular policy was twice defeated in the House of Lords on Monday.

He repeatedly put the simple question to the PM, telling him “people are very worried about what’s going to happen to them.”

But Mr Cameron repeatedly refused to come clean, saying only that people would have to wait until the Autumn Statement on November 25 to discover their fate.

Instead he tried once again to whip a constitutional crisis by criticising the “unelected peers in the House of Lords” for blocking the cut.

Peers had demanded that the government offer “transitional protections” for poor families facing a £1,300-a-year loss of income.

Mr Corbyn read out a letter from one public-sector worker named Karen, who asked: “Why is the Prime Minister punishing working families? The tax credit cuts will push me and my family into hardship.”

But when Mr Cameron merely began to gripe about the House of Lords, Mr Corbyn called him out, saying: “This is not a constitutional crisis, this is a crisis for three million families in this country.”

Labour later criticised the government for reacting to their Lords loss by giving peers “a kicking.”

“The vast majority of people in this country applauded the Lords on Monday,” said shadow Commons leader Chris Bryant.
