Cowardly Iain Duncan Smith ducks MPs’ furious questions over court ruling on “rotten” Bedroom Tax
Cowardly Iain Duncan Smith today sat on the sidelines and left a junior colleague to face the music over the “rotten” Bedroom Tax.
The Tory welfare slasher faced shouts of “shame” as MPs tried to grill him on the Court of Appeal’s ruling that the levy discriminates against carers and domestic violence victims.
He sat silently on the Commons green benches for half an hour as minister Justin Tomlinson took a battering over the “miserable vindictive little policy”.

The buck stops at somebody else’s door, IDS can’t even handle a verbal assault, thank God he left the army, cowards like him cost lives, wherever he serves.
Cowardly though IDS may be, I bet his stool pigeon won’t resign, even after this humiliation. Proof, if ever it was needed that you can’t shame a tory.
Being a typical bully,he stays quiet when confronted with his behaviour.How can you defend the indefensible.
If we had a free press that was fair and unbiased,Smith would have been gone long ago.He gets his way because his politics fall in with the right winged press owners views.Such has Rupert Murdoch’s Sun,etc.
Plus the BBC acting liked a cowed dog in fear of its master.It is obvious that the Tories scared the BBC management when they came to power.But if it continues supporting the right with propaganda then the right,in the end,will privatise it.And some on the left,many will say it serves them right.
the tories are controlled by their USA political masters. Smith has not been briefed so he was subservient to please his political masters.
IDS is contemptibly lacking in the courage to face up to the people that he has systematically thrown on his ideological dung heap. If he was confident that his social security reforms are best for the country, then he should man up and prove it. He is a coward of magnitude, inciting people. who he has callously disparaged, to the point where they have no recourse than to kill themselves. This ‘government’ is excessively lacking in any humanity and compassion for mankind.
