PM ‘must sack callous Freud'
Tory minister told conference fringe meeting that disabled people are only worth £2 an hour
LABOUR demanded David Cameron sack Tory minister Lord Freud yesterday after the PM’s welfare adviser argued disabled people are “not worth” the minimum wage.
The Welfare Reform Minister said he was “profoundly sorry” as he scrambled to save his job after Labour leader Ed Miliband exposed his comments in Parliament.
A Labour spokesman warned that his “attempt at an apology is not the end of the matter.”
