Labour MP and former shadow Chancellor, Chris Leslie, says George Osborne's U-turn on tax credits was not what it seemed:
Don't be under the illusion that it's a U-turn, it's a delay. And in fact the Office for Budget Responsibility make it quite clear in their analysis that it's going to be more than offset by significant cuts to other benefits further down the line. And this is the thing with these spending reviews, they do tend to unravel when people look at the detail."
