Seeing The Benefits

Iain Duncan Smith, good Social Catholic and therefore good Eurosceptic (the closer to those roots a party on the Continent has remained, the less happy it now is with what David Cameron casually calls "the secular EU"), is fundamentally sound.

The trick with the Conservatives is always to convince them that it was their idea. Cameron has opened the door to being so convinced of the need for the maximum multiple. And IDS has now blown it wide open to being so convinced of the need for a unified system of taxation, benefits, pensions, minimum wage legislation and student funding to ensure that no one's tax-free income ever falls below half national median earnings.

Over to you, Simon Hughes and Vince Cable?
