Labour Party conference: Labour will ‘hound’ IDS

LABOUR will “hound” Iain Duncan Smith over welfare reforms, the new shadow work and pensions secretary vowed yesterday.

Owen Smith told the Labour conference in Brighton that he will be after the Work and Pensions Secretary like “our animal-loving Prime Minister after an Oxfordshire fox.

“Because he deserves to be hounded for the way he has treated so many disabled people in our communities.”

Mr Smith hit out at “demeaning” fit for work tests and the “desperate, awful” bedroom tax, adding that IDS has “got to learn that you can’t play politics with people’s lives conference.”
