SIR - Esther McVey won the Tory Downing Street fashion walk in a canter. But even in my shortie jim jams, I think policies are more important.
And was upset to read that Ms McVey supported all of Duncan Smith’s harsh welfare reforms.
The “bedroom tax” and long-term benefit suspensions are a disgrace when enacted on the disabled and poverty stricken.
Much evidence suggests that women do have more compassion than men. It would be a shame if this trend was bucked by female politicians. So, ladies: Please don’t put compassion on the ration.
