But he says he was objecting to the cuts - does this mean the cuts are still to happen?

Osborne said, the day after the election, that the cuts will be reviewed.

As Duncan-Smith actually has no conscience, despite what he says in his resignation letter, I should imagine he's leaving for other reasons - like running for leadership.

IDS has been replaced by Stephen Crabb - another one who has both overclaimed expenses and voted for the £30 cut to ESA :-(

"Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!" And go now! (Oliver Cromwell). :-P

I know Stephen Crabb, have met him and he was always good for sponsoring youngest in her charity fund events.

However, power changed him and he no longer appears to care what happens beyond the end of the M4 Westbound (as he promised).

Shall I delete him from my contacts?

I reckon. the IDS resignation has .more to do with trying to get the support of the disabled and sympathisers for Brexit.
