The "deserving poor" are the latest target of Government cuts Sick and disabled people do not deserve the harsh treatment the Government has planned for them.

Damning new DWP research shows it is failing disabled people - just as Labour wants to cut their benefits When the DWP admits that 44% of claimants don't trust it to manage their claims - then why are Labour cutting Β£6bn from them?

Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.
