Birthday boy IDS gets card — from bedroom tax victims
Work and Pensions Secretary's 60th coincided with the 1-year anniversary of the housing benefit cut
Mansion-dwelling Tory minister Iain Duncan Smith got a birthday card with a difference yesterday from tenants suffering under his bedroom tax.
The Work and Pensions Secretary, who lives in a £2 million country estate with at least four spare bedrooms, was celebrating his 60th birthday in the week his cruel tax reached its first anniversary.
Unite union activists marked the occasion by delivering a giant card to Mr Duncan Smith’s department.
CAROL WILCOX argues for the proper implementation of the land value tax, which could see unused plots sold off and landlords priced out of landlordism, potentially resolving the housing and planning crises
