Illegally drafted legislation. Retroactively drafted illegal legislation. Illegal payments to his own wife.  Claimed expenses for haircuts and underpants.  Lived illegally in his own wife’s bedsit.  Either allows the DWP to run quotas without his or his subordinates knowledge.  Or runs them and lies about them.  Wasted billions on dodgy workfare schemes than have a less than chance ability to place people in jobs.  472,000 people signed a petition to shame him into admitting he is a bullshitter.  Universal Credit turning into yet another policy and IT disaster Statistics office being asked to rebuke him for lies

Even by the poor standards of politicians , this guy takes the piss.  In his own underpants, and then gets us to pay for them.
