Left MPs stand up for sick and disabled in Parliament
Cuts debate prompted by online petition
Labour MP Grahame Morris protested in Parliament yesterday that the sick and disabled are paying for the economic crash with their lives while Britain's richest survive unscathed.
He and other left MPs exposed the Con-Dem government's "war on welfare" in a debate that was demanded by over 100,000 people through an online petition.
They called for the government to put a brake on welfare cuts while an assessment was carried out into the effects of Con-Dem policies on disabled people, their families and carers.
