Save IDS campaign
IDS's position looks desperate and according to the Sunday Telegraph he has very few supporters on the back benches.In an attempt to shore up his position I am starting a 'Save IDS' campaign. This was the idea behind the 'Wit and Wisdom of IDS' but after hours of searching I can't really find much that would helpful.
Therefore 'Save IDS' will be based on discrediting those who want his job.
First, the 'shadow' Chancellor, Michael Howard, showing his economic expertise.
5th June 1991
"So much for the policies that the Labour party would have pursued if it had been in power during the past few years. What of the policies that it now proposes? What would be their effect on unemployment? The effect of the minimum wage policy on jobs would be devastating"
Unemployment when Michael Howard made his remarks. 10.6%
Unemployment today with minimum wage in real terms similar to the Labour policy Howard is referring to
4.4%
