Iain Duncan Smith fronts a grilling from Members of Parliament over his bungled Universal Credit programme. The marshalled Work and Pensions Secretary will be questioned about the misuse of more than £130 million on his welfare shake-up.
He will be requested to account for the spiralling expense of the project, which had been expected this year but has been hampered for at the minimum two years surrounded by disorder over its recently developed computer system.
His Work and Pension Committee confrontation comes as a Tory insider maintains Chancellor George Osborne and Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude have lost their trust in Iain Duncan Smith.
Iain Duncan Smith is hopeless. George Osbourne and Frances Maude have lost any faith in his capability to administer Universal Credit without a hitch. It’s not on time or on schedule, and the whole thing is a catastrophe.
Iain Duncan Smith urged he was bent on trudging on with the vital improvements, which will amalgamate six benefits and tax credit.
Nevertheless it has high pointed how the disorderly introduction has seen £40 million written off in assets that will never be utilised and £91 million spent on assets that will only be functional for five years.

My vision on life is pretty broad, therefore I like to address specific subjects that intrigue me. Therefore I really appreciate the world of politics, though I have no actual views on who I will vote for, that I will not tell you, so please do not ask!
I am like an observation station when it comes to writing, and I simply take the news and make it my own. I have no expectations, I simply love to write, and I know this seems really odd, but I don't get paid for it, I really like what I do and since I am never under any pressure, I constantly find that I write much better, rather than being blanketed under masses of paperwork and articles that I am on a deadline to complete.
The chances are, that whilst all other journalists are out there, ripping their hair out, attempting to get their articles completed, I'm simply rambling along at my convenience creating my perfect piece.
I guess it must look pretty unpleasant to some of you that I work for nothing, perhaps even brutal. Perhaps I have an obvious disregard for authority, I have no idea, but I would sooner be working for myself, than under somebody else, excuse the pun!
Small I maybe, but substantial I will become, eventually.
My desk is the most chaotic mess, though surprisingly I know where everything is, and I think that I would be quite unsuited for a desk job.
My views on matters vary and I am extremely open-minded to the stuff that I write about, but what I write about is the truth and getting it out there, because the people must be acquainted. Though I am quite entertained by what goes on in the world.
My spotlight is mostly to do with politics, though I do write other material as well, but it's essentially politics that I am involved in, and I tend to concentrate my attention on that, however, information is essential. If you have information the possibilities are endless because you are only limited by your own imagination...
