More than 100,000 people have signed an online petition demanding that Iain Duncan Smith be stripped of his knighthood.
The former Conservative leader and architect of the widely criticised Universal Credit system has been included in the 2020 New Years Honour List.
The petition was set up by Dr Mona Kamal Ahmed, an NHS psychiatrist who says she has frequently seen people with chronic mental illness experiencing panic attacks, from anxiety caused by the assessments claimants were put through and over potentially losing welfare payments.
Dr Ahmed, has been seen pictured, posing with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, on her social media.
