IDS resigns chaos follows

[its yourself]

What's going on in the Tory party?

A full and frank discussion is one thing.

This seems personal.

Brexit and naked ambition over Cameron and Osborne

Very unsavoury , good job Labour are in such a mess and unelectable

 

[Cowcalf]

Cameron blaming Osbourne, not very impressive for a leader of country who has commended all that Osbourne has done

 

[Muck Spreader]

It's interesting to see that the wheels are now coming of the conservative wagon within ten months of ditching the Lib/dems. Nobody to keep order or blame.

IDS has gone down in my estimation,his regisnation has nothing to do with the budget and everything to do with brexit.i thought he was better than that

 

[JCMaloney]

Very unpopular move to cut disabled benefits.......... maybe IDS was expecting some parity in tax recovery from businesses/the better off........... then mix in the EU factor and its a toxic mix really.

 

[Y Fan Wen]

Labour destroy themselves over the deterrent, Cons over Europe.
Nothing changes.

Yes but he had seen the budget before hand and he had a hand in the cuts in the first place.if he was that concerned he would of resigned before the budget not 2days later

Having a bit of an inside view into the public sector its possible that IDS was only looking at his department & its budgetary section without seeing the wider picture. There is a chance somebody sold him a line......not defending what he`s done, but it happens fairly often & with more impact the further up the tree you are.

Ids and Rupert Murdoch now combine to suggest Cameron is Merkels puppet. Careful Mr Smith if Murdoch gives you a leg up he'll want his favour returned.......
