"Earlier this week Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall announced changes to the welfare system aimed at saving £5bn by the end of 2030.

Shani Dhanda, an award-winning ambassador for the disability charity Scope said the government should be ‘ashamed’ of the cuts.

She told Metro: ‘The changes are barbaric and indefensible.’

‘We’re living in a time where so many disabled people are in poverty, destitution, and are in hunger.

‘And the government now want to make more cuts which have nothing to do with getting people back into work.

‘This is a big step back, and the government should be ashamed.’"
