When Chancellor Jeremy Hunt gave his Autumn Statement at lunchtime today, there was an air of trepidation about what this would mean for disabled people.
Hunt opened by saying the government will “protect the vulnerable, because to be British is to be compassionate and we are a compassionate Conservative government”. This was quite rightly met with laughter and jeers from the other side of the house.
Another burst of laughter erupted at him proclaiming "credibility cannot be taken for granted".
