A blog by Luke Akehurst about politics, elections, and the Labour Party - With subtitles for the Hard of Left. Just for the record: all the views expressed here are entirely personal and do not necessarily represent the positions of any organisations I am a member of.
I wrote recently about the dreadful Coalition cuts to DLA mobility allowance for disabled people in care homes.

The DWP have just made a statement that DLA will end in 2013/4 making it impossible for people to get the New PIP benefit unless your dying.
This would make Gordon brown proud since it was him that put forward that this benefit end for all, the Tories have taken him at his word....
