DWP ‘Minister for Work’ (Mark Hoban and Chris Grayling’s successor in post) Esther McVey
Westminster DWP Questions, 14th October 2013
Former Banker Rachel Reeves, spoke in her new role for the first time since being moved from the shadow Treasury team to shadow DWP.
Off-message: If Rachel Reeves had promised to get as tough on tax avoidance in her previous job as she is promising to be on benefits now, Labour might have had more credibility.
The question session saw several frontbenchers speak for the first time since the recent reshuffle.

Lord David Fraud
Chris Bryant, now a shadow work and pensions minister, appeared to suffer a moment of confusion amid the various personnel changes.
He referred to the work and pensions minister in the upper House, Lord Freud, as “Lloyd Fraud“, before describing it as “a Freudian slip”.

wouldnt you just love to slap that arrogant git smith and his cohorts…their time will come
opologies if i post this here… i am not sure where i should….
i have just won my appeal after over a year of misery…
the tribunal didnt tell me what group i would be placed in…should i be worried about this? what can i do?
also… do atos lose money if we win an appeal?
now i’m going to complain to atos about the inacuracies of the test… and demand to know the info they hold on me… anything that costs them money is good!
You shouldn’t be worried.
But you should make them tell you.
If you are in the Support Group (no work placements and other crap from the DWP) then fine.
If not, then appeal.
but if i appeal at this early stage… surely that will start the whole long thing again… and i havent even received back pay yet..
“Such proposals are aimed at creating a pool of cheap labour for big business. The “jobs” referred to would be heavily subsidised by the government to encourage companies to employ workers who would be paid well below the minimum wage. The consequences of this policy can already be seen with existing work placements paying as little as £2.65 an hour and stories of unemployed workers being compelled to work for free. Labour’s intention is to make such conditions the norm.”
