Redistributive in the sense of taxes on the rich and more money for the poor? Which particular poor? As far as O can see, the Working Families Tax Credit, for example, benefitted only the middle classes, the people who wouldn't have got benefits before but now do.
The actual rates of pensions and benefits have gone up well below the rates of inflation. This isn't particularly unusual, I know.
