Yep! The word "conflated" must be emphasised in this narrative. This Tory conveniently missing out a lotta relevant factors attached to the issue incl the political negligence attached to his own govt. He apparently claimed something in the region of £225k quid in expenses last year - another Tory who has never experienced hard times or true destitution in his lifetime and never will - the same as the clown prince, Johnson!! It's a common theme amongst these toerags - they like to vilify people who are below their status and particularly focus on criticising many vulnerable groups in this country, the most badly affected by the cost of living crisis.
