Ukip uses Brussels terror outrage for political point-scoring

"ISIL does not speak for Islam. They are thugs and killers. Part of a cult of death" - Barak Obama

For most people, news of a terror attack leaves them shocked and saddened. For a few though, it's seen as an opportunity to make a political point. Our first piece today reports that as this morning's tragedy in Brussels was still unfolding Ukip sent out a rather tasteless press release blaming it on freedom of movement. It follows a similar response by senior members of the party to the Paris attacks.

For years, disability campaigners have made their concerns about cuts to welfare loud and clear. So for many of them, IDS' sudden crisis of conscience is hard to swallow. Today, we hear from a number of people about how changes to disability changes have affected them, and what they make of the current chaos at the Treasury and the DWP.
