Well he's not going to admit anything is he? almost to believable, I love my country and we need to look after everybody even the non Tory voters really laid it on with a ladle,even a little bit of how he has fought so that everyone is treated fairly boohoo if he really felt that way, why the last minute admission? wouldn't respond properly to AM when the brexit question was put to him, he became evasive.

He wasn't there at the Budget, he might have been present at the follow up budget debates.

Sickening to watch. Right wing paper reports are very interesting.

He was clearly shown during Osborne's budget speech,standing in position , arms folded , by the BBC live televised programme. which is the same picture that has been displayed in one of the newspapers. All I can say is that BBC did a brief fill in when they took the camera's off Osborne. I remember thinking to myself, 'well, he doesn't look happy about that '.

The Guardian used this picture which is from the previous July's budget speech.

Have you spent all day trying to prove me wrong here DD ? I must have been on cannabis having psychotic episodes.

I too watched the Andrew Marr interview and thought IDS conducted himself well and his answers /explanations made sense to me .If hes lying through his teeth , then I would like him as my lawyer if ever I get in trouble lol.

Think a lot of us have worked in jobs and at some point had a rough deal--we plod on dutifuly for years till finally we do an IDS. He is probably just fed up of politics--as he said the final straw.

He was the one in 2013 who said he could live on £53 per week after housing costs. Not much compassion then !

I suppose he could if he had his army uniform and boots supplied,plus camp fire with burger and beans every day.

Quite the opposite, the media have been playing tricks by tying the wrong budget with the wrong pictures. Its a trick they often use.

Look out, George!

"Ross Hawkins, BBC political correspondent

George Osborne: chief tactician and patron, a man whose word makes or wrecks careers.

That was the view of many Tory MPs for a very long time. Now, many doubt he will ever be their leader, or even the chancellor much longer."

From detested right wing hatchet man, to socialist reformer/ hail fellow well met in one easy move, Cameron giving him support what a sterling chap, while putting the knife in ( he has presided over our welfare reforms over the past few years) we will carry on with reforms for the benefit of all one nation all in it together, stop it Dave! no one believes you any more, you and your mate thrown to the wolves by a caring socialist Tory, sounds like a plot from the Twilight Zone.

I can't how it can be as yet but this stinks of some sort of manipulative plot that they are all in on. I will wait for future announcements and then start putting the jigsaw together.

Surely not this compassionate Conservative Party! Cameron's words, not mine.
