Liam lambasts "out of touch" DWP Minister over his comments on the increasing use of Food Banks ......

"Liam Byrne, the shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, said: “These comments show just how out of touch this Government is. The welfare revolution we were promised has failed. Unemployment is up, the benefits bill is soaring £20bn higher than planned, and food banks are growing by the day, yet the only ones getting any extra help from this Government are millionaires.”

I wonder why Liam fought shy of reminding us who it was that first brought this "out of touch former investment banker multi-millionaire" [pictured] into government welfare policy making - because they were so impressed by his ideas and grasp of the important detail?
