Tories: Labour needs to be tougher on welfare reform

The Conservatives have branded the Government’s welfare reforms as too little, too late, with Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall being urged to be tougher.

With a bill so big, going up so fast, she needed to be tougher." Report by Covellm.
