DISABILITY activists and MPs demanded Con-Dem minister Lord Freud’s resignation yesterday in a passionate Commons debate over his claim that the disabled were not worth full minimum wage.

As campaign group Disabled People Against Cuts (DPac) mounted a social media campaign demanding “Freud must go,” MPs rounded on the government for failing to ditch the welfare reform architect after his comments.

“The eyes of millions of disabled people, their families, friends and carers are on this house,” said shadow disabled people’s minister Kate Green.
