Disability campaigners pour scorn on millionaire minister Iain Duncan Smith
Disability campaigners poured scorn on millionaire minister Iain Duncan Smith yesterday following his comparison of benefit cuts to ending slavery.
The Tory Minister for Work and Pensions became an object of ridicule after lauding his regime of savage benefit cuts and sanctions before an audience of politicos at his right-wing think tank, the Centre for Social Justice.
Mr Duncan Smith said his guidance on "the journey from dependence to independence" was "part of our party's historic mission - just look at Wilberforce and Shaftesbury."
