Blunkett's "policy" pamphlet

Yesterday, David Blunkett released his first "policy" document since his second resignation published by the Resolution Foundation. For the non-anorak types who wouldn't dream of reading such a thing I've done it for you. Here are the highlights:

• Prior to 1997 there was a culture of dependency engendered by the British welfare system. The introduction of tax credits which made people earning up to £60K reliant on the state for benefits has created "substantial progress" in moving away from dependency.
  
• The breakdown of a television is a "crisis" increasing the need to borrow to "see people through". This is particularly a problem for the poor.
• The solution to social mobility for those on state benefit is to encourage them to get in cheap debt.
  
• We should let tenants purchase stakes in their council houses over time (sound familiar?)
• Inheritance tax should be reformed (original huh?)
