Iain Duncan Smith opposes cuts to benefits.

It does seem a bit strange when Mr Arbeit Mach Frei actually briefs against the PM

What has Gove promised him in the 2023 Cabinet ??

Frankly John I was in a state of shock when I saw IDS being interviewed on Channel 4 news. (I was even more shocked when a journalist I know who is on the government "blacklist" had access to the fringe meeting where IDS made the same comments.)

Looks like IDS will say anything to undermine the PM ,giving money to the poor ,whatever next !

He does have a point though in that anything given in benefits goes straight back into the economy not a savers account at the TSB but if he thinks it will drive growth he is aving a laugh .

Iain Duncan Smith has a problem, due to a tactical voting campaign in his constituency in the run up to the last general election he came close to losing. His is now a marginal seat.
