Iain Duncan Smith is unfit for work. Not even an Atos test would pass Mr
Cruel Incompetence as capable of doing a job.
The courts regularly rule his Department of Work and Pensions is breaking the law. And his regular bullying of the disabled should earn IDS an Asbo.
He’s lucky he can lord it in wife Betsy’s country pile because he’d be unemployable away from Right-whinge politics.
We know IDS lies because we can see his lips move...
The unions mean it when they say we’re all in this together.
Philip Hammond’s sinking of Portsmouth isn’t only the end of a proud maritime history.
It’s another step in the deindustrialisation of Britain as crimpers replace riveters.
By far the biggest chunk of the benefits bill – £108bn, which is 65.7% of the total – is spent on pensioners.
The unemployed cost one-twelth of that at £9.2bn (5.6%), and that’s up £600m on Labour’s total last year.
Senior citizens who worked hard and paid tax deserve dignity in retirement. But theTories blame social security spending on the jobless, deceiving the country to stir up prejudice.
The Prime Minister needs to be there to confront that country’s President, Mahinda Rajapaksa, over the slaughter of 40,000 Tamils.
Labour’s boycott call will only be valid if he ducks the confrontation and enjoys lavish hospitality.
And I’d bet my last Sri Lankan rupee (about half of 1p) that Ed Miliband would be on that flight if he was PM.
Ed Miliband is ruthlessly invading his family’s privacy to convince voters he’s no Odd Ed after realising Gordon Brown paid a heavy price for shielding his own kids from publicity.
