Come September, Colonel Gaddafi could be the only one left in a job.”</p> <p>“Someone has to take responsibility for this and resign before it gets any worse.”</p> <p>Meanwhile, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Iain Duncan Smith, says the effect on employment statistics could be dire.</p> <p>“If we can find someone to compile them, I’m almost certain they won’t look very good. And I know Michael Gove is very worried about the effect this will have on teachers.”</p> <p>“We won’t be resigning though. I mean, fuck me, we’ve got our pensions to think of.” </p>
