he just keeps repeating it's a voluntary scheme, it's a voluntary scheme.. and probably said fiddlesticks at the end

I'm tempted to say that only people who have been through the mincer that is your local benefits agency / job centre can truly understand the awfulness of the letters they send and the rules they impose. But if there were ever a person whose job it is to understand, without ever having actually been on the dole, it's the minister who is supposed to be in charge of the thing.
Grayling clearly does not understand the DWP and more worryingly, has apparently made no effort to look into it and to understand it since this situation began to unravel.
