DPAC campaigners rally in Westminster’s lobby
Angry disabled activists take on Osborne’s vicious attacks on the vulnerable

DISABLED activists rallied inside Parliament yesterday after “vile” Chancellor George Osborne attempted to further make their lives even harder. Dozens of people demonstrated in the central lobby, while Jeremy Corbyn demanded answers from David Cameron in the Chamber.

Despite the Tory U-turn on cuts to the personal independent payment (PIP), campaigners are still outraged at the reduction of subsidies such as the employment and support allowance (ESA) — now a mere £30 a week.

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell was the first MP to come down to show his solidarity with protesters, walking out of the Commons Chamber to loud cheers from the group.
