John Major's intervention with universal credit
It is nice to hear Sir John Major’s criticism of his party’s handling of Universal Credit – but doesn’t it strike you as cynical that he is being heard saying it now?
It is as though the Conservative Party is staging a set-piece – here’s a grandee of the party, a former prime minister no less, calling on the current regime to be less “unforgiving” to the less-fortunate.
And we’re supposed to believe that Theresa May and David Gauke will listen.
The idea, one imagines, is that we’ll only notice they haven’t done anything a few months – and a few more thousand deaths – down the line.
