Can't say I'm a fan of Chief Secretary to the Treasury Andy Burnham anyway, but I think his comments here have plummeted him to a new low.

Frank Field today released a report press-released as "Frank Field MP: Government brutally discriminates against two-parent families", trying in part to make the case that tax credits favour lone parents too much.  This has been enthusiastically reported by the right-wing press. The problem is that he has, for his headline fact, made an incorrect (or at least grossly unfair) comparison.

Alan Johnson right. Blair and Cameron wrong.
