'He's Iain Duncan Ditched'
Gobby government adviser blabs about Duncan Smith demotion on afternoon train journey

A LOUD-MOUTHED government adviser blurted out that Tory Iain Duncan Smith is set be axed as Work and Pensions Secretary to a train carriage, a sharp-eared passenger told the Morning Star yesterday. 

Sarah Quinney said a “very posh” young woman made the claim in a phone call to a political pal about the expected government reshuffle during a journey to London. 

Ms Quinney explained how the woman who “obviously worked somewhere high up” brazenly blabbed about the futures of Mr Dunan Smith and current Employment Minister Esther McVey.
