There are good and bad staff working at the DWP as there is in any other organisation.

It does look like staff have had enough though with the Universal Credit strikes.

Just had a little chuckle at BBC News.

They were interviewing Esther McVey about various things, with the straplines 'Esther McVey on austerity', 'Esther McVey on Brexit' etc.

When it came to her plans for the welfare state (and just as I returned to the room), it said 'Esther McVey on benefits'!

I was taken aback and wondering which benefit she was on, until I realised what was going on
