Claim: The IFS found average working families will be £1,400 worse off because of the 2017 Budget.
Fact-check: "Average working families" and the Budget - Full Fact
Verdict: that's not correct. figures on this scale don't refer to the recent budget, they cover all changes to tax and benefits from 2015 to 2020. the average one-earner couple with children stands to lose £1,400 over this period and households with children overall are expected to be £1,300 worse off.
