How is Iain Duncan Smith still in a job?
The PCS today asks: how is Iain Duncan Smith still in a job?
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions is this afternoon [Monday] appearing before MPs to answer criticism of his flagship Universal Credit scheme. The PCS wants to know, given the scheme is behind schedule and over budget, why Duncan Smith has not been sacked.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: “The fact Iain Duncan Smith has clung on for so long is one of the great political mysteries of our time and the question must be asked, how is he still in a job?
“He has presided over not only a disgusting campaign of vilification towards the most vulnerable people in our society but also an absolutely scandalous waste of public money that could have been better spent supporting the sick, disabled and unemployed.”
