Rejected petition let iain duncan smith live on £53 a week
More details
on the 1st of April yahoo.co.uk stated that "Iain Duncan Smith has dismissed claims he was "slashing" welfare - and insisted he could live on £53 a week."
Myself and many others struggle to live on £53 a week, despite IDS thinking that we live a life of luxury on benefits. Iain Duncan Smith should give up his salary for just one month and get with the real world and see how tough it is to survive on £53, paying for his food, bills etc.
