Labour ‘to slash disability benefits for 1 million people’ as part of huge cuts Those who have difficulty washing, dressing or eating will be denied payments due to a tougher eligibility criteria

This is absolutely shocking if true. A government's treatment of its most vulnerable citizens is a key indicator of its humanity and the strength of its social fabric. Enough is enough

Ten small comic panels:
1. The writer, anxiously hunched over his laptop, unhappily struggling to create.
2. "I've finished my book" he says. Arms aloft in celebration.
3. The agent says "It's great! I have a few notes."
4. And so... The writer is back at his laptop, unhappily struggling to create.
5.  "I've finished my book" he says. Arms aloft in celebration.
6. The editor says "It's great! I have a few suggestions."
7. And so... The writer is back at his laptop, unhappily struggling to create.
8. "I've finished my book" he says. Arms aloft in celebration
9. The readers says "It's great! We need a sequel."
10. And so... The writer is back at his laptop, unhappily struggling to create.
