There have been many studies suggesting austerity measures do not provide real improvement and may trigger downward economic spirals. Cutting benefits is an attempt to provide an underpaid workforce to corporations siphoning wildly unequal shares of profit off the wider population. A thing which also leads to downward economic spirals. So it is not different in the least to the Conservatives, neither party places the welfare of the majority of its constituents above that of business.
