The '10,600 people died within six weeks of being declared fit to work by Atos' stat is simply wrong
It's pretty much accepted that the French IT firm Atos, which was tasked by the Department of Work and Pensions with assessing the ability of disability benefits claimants to work under the new Employment and Support Allowance scheme, has not done a good job. Atos, it appears, agree with that: they said of their contract "In its current form it is not working for claimants, for DWP or for Atos Healthcare. For several months now we have been endeavouring to agree an early exit from the contract, which is due to expire in August 2015. Despite these ongoing discussions, we will not walk away from a frontline service."

The Pressures of being a Parliamentary Candidate
It is with a sad, and heavy, heart that yesterday I heard of Sarah Yong's decision to stand down as PPC for Somerton and Frome for personal reasons. What is even sadder is that people are demanding to know the personal reasons, either because the privacy of an individual is less important than what this means to the party or to show it's not because of the party prospects. If an employee (even CEO) of an organisation stepped down for personal reasons it is normally respected and the organisation moves on.
