Iain Duncan Smith Accused of Failing the Poor

The transcript discusses the Easterhouse Epiphany, where Bob Holman showed Iain Duncan Smith, then leader of the Conservative Party, around one of the UK's most deprived areas. Initially, Smith aimed to make the Conservatives the party of the poor, but welfare cuts have since shifted the narrative. Scott Robertson, a local, shares firsthand experiences of poverty in Easterhouse. Bob Holman calls for Smith's resignation if no changes occur within the Conservative coalition. The Department of Work and Pensions defends welfare reforms, while critics argue for wealth redistribution.
