Austerity, immigration and a loss of trust in government mean politics are becoming more and more polarised So in the end, it wasn't The Donald but Ted Cruz who won. Cruz, the man who claims Obamacare is "the biggest job-killer" in the US, who will "build a wall that works" on the US border, who wants to carpet- bomb Syria until "sand can glow in the dark", and who has called the Roe vs Wade ruling to legalise abortion a "dark anniversary".

Baroness Thomas: 'Disabled people are having their independence snatched away'
Liberal Democrat peer Baroness Thomas writes that new DWP disability assessments might well deprive people of their independence and increase, not decrease, the unemployment rate for the disabled. How has this most unfair situation come about? The Government abolished the old Disability Living Allowance for new disabled claimants a few years ago by gradually bringing in Personal Independence Payments and a new assessment process to make the test "fairer". The old test was largely a paper-based system, whereas the test for PIP is carried out by a "healthcare professional", with points being scored according to a formula agreed by Parliament.
