Iain Duncan Smith to be held accountable for deaths caused by welfare reform.
2,380 people have died within 6 months of being told they are "fit for work" under the plans for welfare reform under the control of Iain Duncan Smith.
Figures released by the DWP on Thursday 27th aug 2015 show that over 80 people each month, died between December 2011 and February 2014 after a Work Capability Assessment (WCA) found them fit to work.
Iain must be held responsible for this as he is overseeing the reforms.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take on this issue.
You could ask for Parliament to debate a vote of no confidence in Iain Duncan Smith, as this is something that the House of Commons could do. You may find that there is already a petition about this on the site.
