Remove Iain Duncan Smith from his post as Works and Pensions Secretary

Petition Details

Iain Duncan Smith is to press ahead with welfare cuts that will see tens of thousands of disabled and chronically ill people lose almost £30 a week in support.

Additional Information

The Work and Pensions Secretary’s Welfare Reform and Work Bill will slash the amount the sick and disabled can get from £102.15 to £73.10 a week - even if they have been judged too ill to work.
The legislation will hit an estimated 500,000 people, including cancer patients and those with conditions such as Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis.
Labour’s shadow minister for the disabled Debbie Abrahams is calling on the Government to scrap the measure.

PLEASE sign our petition to stop this from happening and to hopefully get Iain Duncan Smith REMOVED from his post as Works and Pensions Secretary. He clearly does not deserve to be there.
