Stephen Crabb may have insisted that cuts to disability benefits are restored as a condition of him taking on the Work and Pensions job, but that has not left him in the clear with disabled groups in his own constituency.
As The Times reports nearly 10,000 people have signed a petition demanding his resignation as patron of a local Mencap group because he voted in favour of a £30 cut in ESA for those in the work group.
We wait with baited breath as to whether he decides to reverse this cut in his new role as well.

I am happy to address most contributions, even the drunken ones if they are coherent, but I am not going to engage with negative sniping from those who do not have the guts to add their names or a consistent on-line identity to their comments. Such postings will not be published.
Anonymous comments with a constructive contribution to make to the discussion, even if it is critical will continue to be posted. Libellous comments or remarks I think may be libellous will not be published.
I will also not tolerate personation so please do not add comments in the name of real people unless you are that person. If you do not like these rules then start your own blog.
Oh, and if you persist in repeating yourself despite the fact I have addressed your point I may get bored and reject your comment.
The views expressed in comments are those of the poster, not me.
