DISABLED people and left MPs are mobilising against “appalling” welfare cuts expected to be announced by Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall on Tuesday.

Ministers were threatened with the “mother of all rebellions” in Parliament after refusing to rule out reducing disability benefits for those unable to work today.

Ms Kendall promised to ensure “trust and fairness in the social security system” amid growing fury at government plans to cut the cost of the benefits bill.
