'Labour has been accused of relying on the 'welfare vote' after the Conservatives published a provocative league table ranking Commons seats according to the number of benefit claimants. A total of 189 constituencies in the first 200 are represented by Labour MPs, which the Tories claim explains why Ministers are failing to tackle the spiralling welfare bill.'Hardly new news but does largely explain why Labour is prepared to leave things as they are - unimproved. They are no longer the party of the workers - that is for sure.
