:01:33. > :01:39.since his shock resignation, the former Work and Pensions
:01:40. > :01:41.Secretary criticised what he called, the Treasury's
:01:42. > :01:44."desperate search for savings", which he said were focussed
:01:45. > :01:46.on benefit cuts for people Tonight, one of his former Cabinet

:02:07. > :02:13.ricochetted through Government. Iain Duncan Smith are you trying to
:02:14. > :02:17.impact maximum damage on your party? Two days on the self-styled quite
:02:18. > :02:21.man is making his voice heard. In his first interview since stepping
:02:22. > :02:24.down, he delivered a damming indictment on Government policy,
:02:25. > :02:28.claiming it was balancing the books on the backs of the poor. I am
:02:29. > :02:33.concerned that this Government that I want to succeed is not able to do
:02:34. > :02:37.the kind of things it should because it has become too focussed on
:02:38. > :02:40.narrowly getting the deficit down, without being able to say where that
:02:41. > :02:45.should fall, other than simply on those who I think mro grossively can
:02:46. > :02:50.less afford to have that fall on them. -- progressively. Iain Duncan
:02:51. > :02:55.Smith has presided over deep cuts to benefits for the past six years but
:02:56. > :03:00.now says they have gone too far and are unfair. He laid blame at the
:03:01. > :03:02.Treasury's Dar for protecting pensioners, whilst seeking
:03:03. > :03:07.short-term savings from the younger generation. We need to make sure we
:03:08. > :03:11.widen the scope of where we look to get that deficit down and not just
:03:12. > :03:15.narrow it down on working age benefits. There is a reason for
:03:16. > :03:18.that, otherwise it looks like we see this as a pot of money, that it
:03:19. > :03:23.doesn't matter because they don't vote for us, and that's my concern.
:03:24. > :03:27.We will be spending more in real terms, supporting disabled people
:03:28. > :03:33.than in any... The recent Budget proved a final straw when disability
:03:34. > :03:36.cuts were alongside tax reductions for middle earners but Iain Duncan
:03:37. > :03:42.Smith's disconstuct had been brewing for months. He now says he disagreed
:03:43. > :03:46.with a cap on welfare spending that he publicly supported Your case is
:03:47. > :03:50.that the Chancellor is wrong on the overall welfare cap, he is wrong in
:03:51. > :03:54.where he is attributing the pain, he is protect, as it, were better-off,
:03:55. > :03:58.voters at the expense of people who are more vulnerable. These are a
:03:59. > :04:03.series of body blows to the Chancellor. First of all, it is not
:04:04. > :04:07.personal. I know prepare may think that, it is not. He gave a luke warm
:04:08. > :04:10.response when asked if George Osborne would make a good Prime
:04:11. > :04:14.Minister? I think certainly if he was to stand and was selected by the
:04:15. > :04:18.electorate, not just me, everybody else, that I would hope he would but
:04:19. > :04:24.I think the same for almost anybody else. Critics say Mr Duncan Smith's
:04:25. > :04:27.real motivation is to destabilise the current leadership, driven by
:04:28. > :04:31.his desire to leave the European Union. He insists he wants to force
:04:32. > :04:37.a rethink on the Government's welfare policy. I care for one thing
:04:38. > :04:41.and one thing only - it is that the people that don't get the choices,
:04:42. > :04:44.that my children get are left behind, I do not want them left
:04:45. > :04:48.behind. I want them given that opportunity. It is not easy. It is
:04:49. > :04:52.painful to resign. I don't want to resane but I'm resigning because I
:04:53. > :04:56.think it is the only way I can do this. -- I don't want to resign.
:04:57. > :05:00.Some in Whitehall point out he was at the top table when policies he is
:05:01. > :05:03.now criticising were implemented. Iain Duncan Smith has been in
:05:04. > :05:07.Cabinet for six years. He hasn't been a spectator. He has been part
:05:08. > :05:12.of delivering the gross we have made in making sure we are a one nation
:05:13. > :05:16.government, that we help everybody. Spending on disabilities has gone up
:05:17. > :05:19.every year. We make sure that more people are in employment and we
:05:20. > :05:26.always help the people who are the lowest paid. But the manner of his
:05:27. > :05:29.departure has undermined the Government's core claim of
:05:30. > :05:35.compassionate conservatism and handed ammunition to its critics.
:05:36. > :05:37.Tackling the size of the welfare budget has been a central
:05:38. > :05:41.Conservative objective in government.
:05:42. > :05:44.But delivering savings has proved to be more difficult than imagined.
:05:45. > :05:46.Our Political Correspondent, Chris Mason, reports on the battle
:05:47. > :05:58.Any Government trying to save money is likely to be tempted to home in
:05:59. > :06:03.on the welfare budget. The reason is simple, and big. Let's take a look
:06:04. > :06:08.at where our taxes go. One-third of all Government spending goes on
:06:09. > :06:13.welfare. But the biggest chunk of that, 42%, is spent on pensions,
:06:14. > :06:17.which are protected from cuts. You are never going to get the
:06:18. > :06:20.deficit down without doing something to that budget. The issue for the
:06:21. > :06:24.government is they are protecting half of t the bit that goes to
:06:25. > :06:31.pensioners, and that means bigger cuts on average to the benefits to
:06:32. > :06:36.people of working age. That is left that people like Bethan feeling
:06:37. > :06:40.unfairly targeted and squeezed. She has multiple scler ocean. It is
:06:41. > :06:47.pretty much the most vulnerable people in society that are taking
:06:48. > :06:50.the worst hit from changes, not just as regards disability. I really
:06:51. > :06:54.seriously think it needs to be rethought. I think there are other
:06:55. > :06:58.areas that can be budgeted. The Government hoped it could keep a lid
:06:59. > :07:03.on welfare spending by imposing aica. First there is the restriction
:07:04. > :07:09.on what benefits individual house colds can get every year. Soon to be
:07:10. > :07:12.cut from ?26,000 a year to ?20,000 or ?23,000 in London. There is
:07:13. > :07:17.evidence this is popular and Iain Duncan Smith supported T but, it
:07:18. > :07:22.doesn't save that much money. What annoyed Mr Iain Duncan Smith was the
:07:23. > :07:27.second cap on a big chunk of his department's overall spending. This
:07:28. > :07:29.is the current limit. But, the Government has acknowledged this has
:07:30. > :07:36.been breached anyway, they have spent more. So it is arguably a red
:07:37. > :07:39.herring. With ministers facing awkward questions about their
:07:40. > :07:43.budgeting and the rows that have rumbled within the Cabinet, it's
:07:44. > :07:47.given Labour a chance to point out it is not just them who suffer from
:07:48. > :07:51.blasts of internal turbulence. They want an explanation from the
:07:52. > :07:55.Chancellor and soon. We have asked George Osborne to come to Parliament
:07:56. > :07:59.to explain his stance on the Budget now. This Budget is falling apart. I
:08:00. > :08:03.can't see how he can not consider his position now.
:08:04. > :08:07.But, it'll be the Prime Minister explaining what he plans to do
:08:08. > :08:11.tomorrow, and the big challenge remains - shaking up welfare is hard
:08:12. > :08:13.enough when there is lots of money around. It's harder, still, when
:08:14. > :08:18.there isn't. Our Political Editor Laura
:08:19. > :08:24.Kuenssberg is in Downing Street. Lawyer why, we already had the
:08:25. > :08:28.divisions in the Government over the EU and now we have this on welfare.
:08:29. > :08:32.How does the Government move on from this? Well, how do you move on in
:08:33. > :08:37.any organisation, when its members have been hurling insults at each
:08:38. > :08:40.other in public? I can tell you, even more strongly in private. The
:08:41. > :08:44.answer to that is - well, it is going to be extremely difficult. In
:08:45. > :08:48.the short term we will see David Cameron on his feet in the House of
:08:49. > :08:51.Commons tomorrow and he will push back some of these very stinging
:08:52. > :08:53.accusations. I'm told he will remake the argument and stake
:08:54. > :08:55.his commitment to modern compassionate conservatism. In other
:08:56. > :09:00.words, he will push back. He will say that the cuts, or he
:09:01. > :09:00.will suggest that the cuts aren't unfair, that this
:09:01. > :09:04.is, in his words, a one nation Government.
:09:05. > :09:08.going after the most vulnerable, of course
:09:09. > :09:11.that is Duncan Smith smi's strongest criticism of what has been going on
:09:12. > :09:17.and the new Secretary of State at the department for work and
:09:18. > :09:20.pension, Stephen Crabb who has taken over from Iain Duncan Smith, will
:09:21. > :09:21.confirm that those disability benefit
:09:22. > :09:29.become politically impossible but, of course, in the immediate term
:09:30. > :09:29.that leaves another hole in the Budget and
:09:30. > :09:33.it is in the longer term that this is really
:09:34. > :09:41.As you suggest, the Conservative Party is also divided over the
:09:42. > :09:42.European referendum. We are in that campaign to all
:09:43. > :09:47.intents and purposes right now. It was already going to be difficult
:09:48. > :09:48.for David Cameron to keep his party together
:09:49. > :09:53.through a period of intense campaigning. That is going to be
:09:54. > :09:54.even harder now with all this bad flood swirling around in public.
:09:55. > :10:00.certainly nothing is apocalyptic but this really is the
:10:01. > :10:09.most dangerous political moment of this Conservative Government so far.
