This is hardly a surprise, but seeing as no-one here has brought the subject uip yet, this article contains details on the government's plans to "streamline" the benefits system yet again by picking on some so society's most financially vulnerable people. As usual, of the mainstream parties, only the Lib Dems - who have no hope of being elected - have ruled out implementing this green paper.

I know several folk for whom DLA has been a vital lifeline at certain points in their life, and the paper is due to go before the Lords in less than three months, so it's important that as many people as possible register their disapproval. Several charities such as the Arthritis Society and the RNIB are already circulating a petitions which can be signed here:
