Tory MP who suggested opponent commit suicide transferred to DWP

A Conservative MP who suggested a SNP politician commit suicide has today been transferred to the Department of Work and Pensions, where he’s seen as a natural fit for what they’re trying to accomplish. Ian Liddell-Grainger suggested suicide as an option for a SNP politician concerned about a Conservative ‘power grab’. ‘What we say in the House of Commons is all in good fun. It’s those Twitter trolls you’ve got to watch out for, they can be very hurtful,’ said one Tory MP. As a reward for his comment, Ian Liddell-Grainger will now be moved over to the DWP, where he’s expected to work closely with assessors. ‘Ian is a natural fit for us here in the DWP and we share a similar outlook on what people with problems should do. I’m sure he’ll become a shining star here,’ said Esther McVey, the Secretary for Work and Pensions. Mr Liddell-Grainger has welcomed the opportunity and says he’ll do his utmost to ensure the Conservative vision for Britain is carried out.
