Workers should pay into new flexible saving accounts to fund their own sick pay or unemployment benefits, Iain Duncan Smith has said.

Now, call me daft or what, but I thought we paid National Insurance for this? I've always been fortunate in that my employers would pay sick pay, but this strikes me as yet another back door tax/privatisation.

This guy (who happens to be a proven liar) seriously worries me!

Not a lot, and I haven't been disappointed.

I seriously question his suitability to be an MP. He's a liar, a hypocrite, seems unstable ...

Second thoughts, he's a perfect match!

I always thought these were the minimum requirements to enter parliament!
