I think that may be nearer to the real reason for the step down DR, as the cuts were to be reversed. Cuts have been seen as contributory in deaths in other welfare policies, IDS has to distance himself from any concrete decision making due to accusations of human rights abuses?
'We are all in this together' comes into play then, no one minister can be held accountable so none of them will be... :/

Yeah, whilst bumbling Boris likes to come over as a very nice dappy sort of chap, he's actually an incredibly clever self absorbed narcissist who puts his own ambitions before anything else.

Like some strange hybrid of Francis Fulford and Brian Blessed Boris never answers a questions, he just bombastically booms poppycock or some such nonsense word at the questioner to throw them off before asking a question of his own.

And the replacement?......

The newly appointed Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb has previously been the subject of criticism for appearing to have links to a ‘gay cure’ organisation.

Prime Minister David Cameron announced today that Mr Crabb will replace Iain Duncan Smith in the senior cabinet role. In 2012, claims emerged that Mr Crabb was employing interns through a homophobic religious fundamentalist organisation and had begun his political career through involvement in the same scheme when he was young.

Pink News reported that the MP employed interns in his parliamentary office through a scheme organised and funded by Christian Action Research and Education (CARE). CARE has previously sponsored events which refer to gay and bisexual people as “sexually broken” and advocating that they can become “ex-gay”. The organisation has funded internship places for young people to be placed with MPs as researchers or interns.

Addressing the concerns in 2012, Mr Crabb confirmed that he had received interns from the scheme while an MP. However, despite criticism of CARE, he refused to distance himself from the group when asked, The Daily Telegraph reported.
