"And what do you propose Liam? When you disappear off into your think tanks and focus groups? For over a year, you have avoided meeting with me. You promised, but you haven't discussed your plans with sick and disabled people. You talk of "unearned support" Liam, but this is the Guardian!

Today, I've written a template letter for you to use. Template letters are certainly less effective - many parliamentarians won't open more than one or two of them. However, they are better than not writing at all.

Just to be clear, this means that if you have worked and paid national insurance contributions you will face an assessment. If that assessment finds that you are indeed unwell, but may be able to do some work at some point, you will only qualify for support for a year.
