Iain Duncan Smith
3 questions Iain Duncan Smith must answer
We have three questions that we believe IDS ought to be asked by the committee.
Universal Credit: a good day for IDS to bury bad news
It was reported today that Duncan Smith's flagship Universal Credit programme may not be complete by 2017 as originally planned.
Major incompetence: IDS’ reforms descend into chaos
As someone who joined the Labour Party under John Major's period as Prime Minister, I find it odd to agree with his comments on Iain Duncan Smith’s welfare reforms.
Universal Credit shambles uncovered in new report
A damning report by the National Audit Office has severely criticised the government's Universal Credit reforms.
Why is Liam Byrne so keen to out-do the Tories on social security cuts?
It is well known these cuts have been savage, unfair, and that they seriously affect the disabled. But what if they actually targeted the disabled, hitting them the hardest, piling all the harshest cuts on the services that are actually the most vital?
Why do we think there’s a magic solution to child benefit?
If there is anything that really gets up the nose of the right it's single mothers on benefits. No, in fact it's any parents claiming benefits, as the sorry media sage around Mick Philpott demonstrated.
