“Whether you acquire disability at birth, five years ago or tomorrow, it should be the same for everyone.”

Labour MP Alex Sobel says any disparities in how welfare claims are reviewed would make him “very uncomfortable”.

Labour's rightly held to a high standard. We exist to end poverty & injustice. Yet cuts to Winter Fuel, sharp rises in NI, denying 1950's women justice & now plans to rip a lifeline away from disabled people, people felt Labour left them. Labour must rediscover our moral purpose.

Due to the weather warnings for heavy snow this weekend, refuse collections due to be made on 5 January have been postponed until 12 January.

This is to make sure all bins can be collected and reduce the risks for our staff and residents by taking 60 LGVs off the road.
