I may be politically naive (I am, actually) but I honestly believe this is more about Europe.
IDS has jumped bandwagons - after hurting the poor for so long, he's all, "Oh noes! Don't hurt the poor!"

He's looking to get re-elected, whether as an independent or via UKIP. And in the mean time he's both distanced himself from Brexit - something he feels FAR more strongly about than the undeserving poor - and what he has done to the latter.

He's hardly hurting for money, and he's an ambitious political animal. He would not resign over a matter of conscience, because if he had one it shrivelled in flame years ago.
