Indifferent? Much more difficult to prove.

Before you lay in to the DWP over the number of suicides, look to the Department of Health and their funding of mental health care.

Mind you, having valued work is very important to mental health. The Chancellor could help here by cutting Employers’ National Insurance contributions in preference to Corporation Tax.

One chilling statistic comes from Network Rail. The number of suicides on railway lines had been climbing steadily over the past few years. While you cannot blame each and every one on IDS, you do start to wonder what human tragedies lie behind them.

It seems to me that the DWP is trying to do too much at once. The move to Universal Credit is incredibly complicated and getting it right should not only be at the top of their agenda it should be the only thing on it.

The tweaking of the DLA should have been postponed. However I note with pleasure that the reviews for the PIP scheme are on balance increasing payouts as, while some benefits are reduced, more are actually increased when it is found that the DLA payments were not generous enough.

The whole benefits system has always been prone to abuse every since it was introduced and I don’t see how it can be eliminated. Of course we have to keep trying.

IDS’s fitness for the role at the DWP may be dubious, but his point about cutting benefits at the same time as taxes on the rich is very telling. How many poor people pay Capital Gains Tax?

Oh come on. If politicians don’t want to be compared with war criminals perhaps they avoid doing things that invite that comparison

As for evidence, there’s plenty of it; it’s just that neither the Tory press or the BBC are reporting it.

This piece published today mentions the story of David Clapson, whose death can be linked directly to IDS’s benefit sanctions.

I further agree that a parliament in which the only effective opposition comes from a party which has not being in that parliament as is primary objective does not reflect well on our democratic system.

However, I do think you should supply some evidence before throwing accusations like those at anyone.
