DWP BOSS THERESE COFFEY
THE Conservative Government's Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, The Rt Hon Dr Therese Coffey, might look like a dyke with a cigar, but she voted against the legalisation of same-sex marriage in 2013.
The DWP boss has said that food banks are the 'perfect way' to help the poor. During the MP's expenses scandal it was disclosed that she was claiming £1,000 a month for mortgage interest on her London home along with £160 a month for a cleaner and £150,000 for staff salaries and office costs.
When she recently made an unannounced visit to a Liverpool Jobcentre, Coffey was asked if she would be ending the 5-week wait for Universal Credit that is causing many people severe hardship. She said: "No, I don't think we are going to change that." Coffey also believes that pensioners should be forced to pay National Insurance.
Ms Coffey (47), was born in Billinge, Lancashire in 1971 and grew up in Liverpool. She graduated from UCL with a PhD in chemistry. A keen football fan, she supports Liverpool F.C. and likes pints of Guinness. She's also in favour of lifting the ban on smoking in public places.
Her voting record reveals a tranche of reactionary views, likely to be offensive to homosexuals, women, pensioners, migrant workers, and non-smokers.
