At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"In the damning letter, the UN Human Rights' special rapporteurs on disability rights Heba Hagrass, and extreme poverty and human rights, Olivier De Schutter, raise several serious concerns over Labour's welfare plans. The experts say that instead of achieving the stated aim of supporting people with disabilities into work, fiscal considerations and negative perceptions of benefit claimants appear to be the driving rationale behind the reforms."
