Disabled defence
Lady Tanni Grey-Thompson, the paralympian, is doing a great job defending the disabled against coalition government harassment, whilst Iain Duncan Smith’s department is causing misery by making the long-term disabled face repeat examinations.

Not even a technical hitch at the start of the gig could dampen the crowd’s enthusiasm.
There was some disquiet at the £35 price of a ticket to see Madness, although that is the going rate for a band of their calibre.
