Why would you not get full time work?

ok so lets say i not get full time work but part time work say 2 days week

Might be a little onerous. Best to start out gently at 2 hours per week.

Can you not see the direction of travel the advice is going?

Why the bloody hell should the tax payer support you when you can only be bothered to work 2 days a week? By choice, it sounds.

Do you have part time bills? A part time child? No, you don't. You need full time work. Your wife needs part time work. Together, as a couple, you need to earn enough to support your child and yourselves.

There are plenty of full time warehouse/manual jobs around. Time to man up and take responsibility.

With posts like these the welfare system will be dismantled faster than an ice cube melting in a fire if the Tories get in next time

Don't you need to work at least 30 hours a week to be eligible for working tax credits?

OP's previous posts are a Daily Mail dream - iphone, ipad, trips to India ... Anything else you want the state to pay for?

Rubbish, I fully support a comprehensive welfare system to support those who need it, not, though, those who elect not to work or to stir themselves only twice a week.

I wouldn't mind just doing two afternoons a week, can you tell me which benefits will take up the slack for me, please?

Thought not, better continue with the 5 day grind then.

Obviously missed my point entirely.

Its posts like the OP that adds fuel to a theory that the welfare system encourages people to do as little as possible and expect the state to supplement their lifestyle/choices

OP-It is posts like yours that make people like me sick!
The Welfare State was conceived to help people who through injury, disability, job loss etc-not their own fault-could not work.
It was not designed to help people like you who wish to milk the system for all it is worth!
Get a 35+hour job and get your wife to do her beauty thing at evenings and weekends. Sorted.
