Goodbye Esther McVey, Sadly You Will Not Be Missed

Esther McVey has resigned today but she will not be missed from a post that appears to have a revolving door attached to it.

The Tory press are portraying McVey as a working-class Tory grafter, but to many people she came across as inflexible, cold, cruel, and at times, when a humble attitude was required, a bit too cocky.  

Furthermore, she may have lacked the intelligence, skill, and vision to be able to oversee a project as complex as Universal Credit and the ITC requirements that go with it? Being a former TV presenter may have its merits but it is doubtful these are the right skill sets for the job. That is not meant in any way as an insult - Universal Credit is an incredibly difficult project to deliver and someone with a senior IT background might be a better person in the job.

BREXIT is an honorable way out for Esther McVey, who might, like Iain Duncan Smith, want to change public perception about their legacy.   Over 110,000 people died on their watch and those who have died having been declared 'Fit to Work' have yet to have their statistics revealed to the public. 

Esther McVey was too ready to go along with it all and what is needed in the job is someone with compassion, who really understands people and their needs. Someone who could stand up to the PM and say about cuts to the Social Security budget:- ENOUGH!

We wish Esther McVey all the best for the future, but we know many people will cheering on her departure. She certainly is not PM material and 'DWP Minister' must surely be the apogee of her career in government.
