Tweet of the day - 7 Nov 2010

The Independent on Sunday's John Rentoul, on the Archbishop of Canterbury's take on the welfare and related reforms outlined by Iain Duncan Smith (a.k.a. IDS), which complained of a 'spiral of despair' resulting from the reforms. Rentoul tweeted:

"Archbishop of Canterbury attacks IDS work plans http://bit.ly/bcf1qf >> Now we know IDS is on the right lines"

Well, the beards-and-sandals liberal brigade never really did "get it", though at least it can be said that the Liberal Democrat party isn't all like that, despite what some claim, and is nowadays actually more sensible and world-wise than the Archbishop!

Even dafter is the fact that what he is criticising was already part of Labour's New Deal plan anyway.
