Response to Tory pre-paid benefit cards plan
Bianca Todd of Left Unity said:
“Why don’t MPs get their expenses on pre-paid cards? After all, it’s Iain Duncan Smith himself who once claimed £39 for a hotel breakfast.
“MPs treat us like irresponsible children, but they are the ones who are on the take.
“This and the benefits freeze are just going to push people further into poverty, while the richest get even more tax cuts.”
