In the news

We all should do that and even more.

You always pick up when Tony calls.

(Blair, obvs).

What's going to happen to Tony if the UK votes to leave the EU?

Ooofff..
Just looking around the interwebz right now and cannot see that there are any other countries without a state run school system. Of course, there are many patchy public school systems around, but a country where absolutely all primary education is on private hands? Not sure if such a place exists. (Somalia?)

Why call your party 'Conservative' when what you're doing is jumping straight into completely untested territory?

Fixed?

Although I'd be very concerned if any Labour supporters think Vicky Kirby should have been readmitted to the party.

since she was readmitted, and there are some labour supporters who accept no criticism of the labour party or its leadership, perhaps we should be concerned. Or, since there are idiots in every political party, and idiot supporters of every political party, (There might even be a few on here) this might not be such a big deal. I'd be interested if there were any Jewish Labour voters on here, and what they think.

Ian Duncan Smith resigns over disability benefits

IDS has quit citing concerns over changes to disability benefits. That seems a bit strange.

I hope he takes Gideon down with him.

Maybe he's playing the long game, hoping to come back under Boris, if he replaces Cameron?

When, not if.

But he (IDS) is clearly resigning to be more vocal in his support for leaving the EU in the run up to June's referendum.

If the man genuinely had principles about cuts too far, he'd have resigned back in 2010.

oof

So much this.

How dare you all cast doubts over the motives of my local mp.

(IDS) is clearly resigning to be more vocal in his support for leaving the EU

I think he genuinely dislikes the disableds and is disappointed that Gideon has limited the suffering in this ad hoc manner.

IDS Strikes me as a bit of a Mengele-sans-scalpel

Godwins law dictates that I should gather up my outer garment

What's that Skip? http://www.politics.co.uk/blogs/2016/03/17/ids-loses-legal-challenge-to-keep-universal-credit-problems

.

Everyone dislike the disabled.

They are dicks.

Don't let one bad apple etc and so on.

Resigns 'on principle'?

Oh, the principle of fucking your mates over and using the dirty work you've been willingly doing for years as the proxy? How very Tory.

I see what you're trying to do, is this related to your wheelchair use?

Well I for one am not falling for it, listen to snotts everyone.

The line where he outs Tory economic policy as ideologically driven and not in the national economic interest is gold... Goodbye Gidiot!
