Severely disabled people will keep dying unless we start to value the lives of benefit claimants.

The greatest travesty of welfare reform isn’t simply that people are dying, it’s that they have been dying for some time and nothing has been done about it. No significant changes have been made to policy. No minister has been held to account. Only a few weeks ago, the key architect was rewarded with a knighthood. We pretend this is somehow normal, that it’s just “one of those things”. It isn’t. We tell ourselves it could never happen in a country like ours. It can and it is.

Boris Johnson urged to correct claim about benefit claimant who starved to death
The Prime Minister told PMQs there will be an "independent Serious Case Panel" to examine the 57-year-old's death - but the DWP has already said it will consist of DWP staff, they'll just be 'independent of the case'
