If the government ever had a plot on 'welfare reform' (other than making budget cuts) they have totally lost it today!
It started as an incoherent and contradictory mess - and they have managed to make an even bigger dogs breakfast out of it.
And made Liz Kendall look even more of a clown in the process (the latest changes/concessions completely undermine most of her pitch earlier in the day).
This is a failure of policy, party management, and having a narrative (controlled or not). Shambles!
