Once again IDS blaming everyone but himself, don't get me wrong Devereux was equally as useless but its on IDS' head too. Also DWP workers and those staff working on Universal Credit are 'just waiting for an implosion as its just a matter of time'.

Robert Devereux, the permanent secretary to the Department for Work and Pensions, will be criticised in a report by the Commons public accounts committee after a string of problems emerged in the development of the flagship universal credit programme.
It is understood that Mr Devereux has told senior government figures that he is prepared to resign if, as expected, he is personally criticised in the MPs’ report.
Well he better pack his bags because that is exactly what IDS is going to do and what the MPs report will do too.
You have got to thank your lucky stars IDS is only work and pensions secretary imagine what would have happened if he was prime minister, arrogent, not listening to others, changing the law when he has found to have broken it. Nukes would fall on an allied country just because a politican of that country criticised one of his policies.
Don't feel to sorry for Devereux, he'll get a six figure pay off and inflation proofed pension.

I noticed this too.
Working on the rebranding and relaunch of IDS, the man without blame.
That man is ODIOUS
For some peculiar reason I keep thinking of the word touche. Goodness knows why. So does he.
I can imagine him using that excuse when the trials start.

You have to be human to have a sense of humanity
We can only wish...
And news just in - real news - he's just told the Government to slap a tax on energy companies so that it can be used to help people pay their bills.
Clearly, the original Thatcherites have had enough. Economically this lot are TOO RIGHT WING for them.
I've been saying this for years. Margaret was the most extreme PM when she was elected and yet more moderate than ANY of them since, Blair and Brown included.
It's a kind of economic fascism with the pretence of softer edges owing to the fact that they are sympathetic to minorities. The latter's good but not when it's a smokescreen.
his only Suggestion to Labour was ESA he wanted to reform DLA but Gordon Brown refused point blank to even go there hence why Fraud jumped ship to the Tories and Purnell threw a wobbler.
John Major brought in DLA in 1992 he always was the moderate.
that's the problem with IDS he failed as a leader no wonder they called him the Quiet man when he starts speaking you just want him to shut up and go away. You cant have the massive reforms he wants in the spate of a few years and expect this mammoth department to just change decades of running. All these Reforms loads of IT problems, ATOS making a complete bloody disaster of everything they touch
I don't recognise the present.
And when the more recent of the two ceased to be PM, I was in a pram.
