The Grand old Duke of York.

 As the children’s nursery says ‘he marched them up to the top of the hill and marched them down again’. Just so the prime minister, with his Welfare Bill in the House of Commons on Tuesday. Has there been a more humiliating episode in recent government history? He has had is authority absolutely - shredded. Why did the party managers get themselves in this humiliating position? The bill was left dead - in the gutter of public opinion and is unlikely to be resuscitated in the near future. What is wrong with this government?
