Britain is in last chance saloon, says Iain Duncan Smith - by Andrew Sparrow

he work and pensions secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, has said Britain is in the "last chance saloon", with the riots a warning that social problems could get worse.

In an interview with the Spectator, Duncan Smith said: "This is our warning. That wasn't the crisis, but the crisis is coming. We can't let this go on any more, and I think the prime minister sees that."

The former Conservative party leader also said dealing with the causes of the riots would define Cameron's premiership in the way that responding to 9/11 defined Tony Blair.
