TWENTY-four bishops have attacked David Cameron for the increase in food banks and hunger and poverty.

Tory-led governments are traditionally kind to the rich and cruel to the poor.

The coalition should own up to the misery they are causing, and then do something about it.

Being “in denial” is an ugly stance. ’Fess-up Clegg and Cameron and abandon your out-of-control welfare sanctions, which are crucifying the poor.
