IDS admits to universal credit failings
TORY minister Iain Duncan Smith has cost taxpayers billions by cocking-up his cruel welfare policies, Labour revealed yesterday.
Independent research for the party shows his Department for Work and Pensions has caused the Treasury to spend £5 billion more than planned topping-up poverty pay during this parliament.
Shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves will tear into the “Tory welfare waste” in a speech today in the east London borough of Redbridge.
