Our new DWP Secretary of State. Labour = Tories. Curtesy of benefits and work.

WILL NEW DWP BOSS MCFADDEN BE WORSE THAN KENDALL
Last week, Liz Kendall was sacked as secretary of state for work and
pensions, and was replaced by Pat McFadden.
But will a cabinet enforcer who talks tough on welfare, but has a strong
liking for freebies and handouts, be worse news than his predecessor for
claimants?
In July 2012, just before MPs expenses rules were changed to stop them
claiming mortgage interest, McFadden moved out of his own home and
rented the house next door.
He was able to claim the £625 rent he paid as allowable expenses whilst
installing a tenant into the home he owned and charging them £700 a
month rent to cover the mortgage.
This is the same man who told Sky News last September "It's really
important that if money is spent on benefits, it goes to those who are
genuinely in need of it, and where there's fraud in the system that we try to
root that out."
Yet between March and July 2024, McFadden received gifts of football and
concert tickets to the value of £5,620.
That's more than many claimants get in benefits.
