ian duncan smith showed the tories true colours today as he laughed and sneered during a bedroom tax debate.
As MPs told stories of how their most vulnerable constituents had been effected by the tax, the Tory minister was spotted grinning like a "Cheshire cat Tory minster Ian Duncan Smith has sparked outrage by laughing during a heartbreaking debate on the affects of the Bedroom Tax.
He was spotted throwing his head back and chortling as he was accused by Labour's John Robertson of ignoring the reality of the stress the Bedroom Tax would have on a Scottish estate.
Labour MP Jack Dromey described the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions as “grinning like a Cheshire cat, while viewers took to Twitter to agree and voice their disgust.
No doubt Mr Duncan Smith would have had even more to be happy about when the Government defeated the Labour motion by a reduced majority of 32, winning the vote 298 to 266 A Government amendment was then carried 300 to 262, majority 38.
In September Shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves pledged to call a parliamentary vote to scrap the Bedroom Tax - calling Lib Dems to join her party Labour has pledged to repeal the Bedroom Tax if it wins in May.
New figures show victims have lost an average of £1,260 since the 2013 launch of the hated policy, which docks housing benefit of tenants deemed to have a spare room The Bedroom Tax debate was not the first time Mr Duncan Smith has appeared to laugh off misfortune of others.
Almost exactly a year ago, he sneered at the plight of hungry families forced to rely on food banks.
During the debate last December Tory MPs laughed and jeered as they were told how some hard-up shoppers were so desperate they fought to snap up discounted items in supermarkets.
Astonishingly, all the Government ministers from the responsible departments – including Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith – sneaked out after just an hour of the crucial Commons debate.

because what goes around comes around and it will come around on may the 7th and bite you on your rich ample tory backside.
