The Government is reponsible for stories "knocking disabled people", Labour's Shadow Welfare Minister has claimed.
Writing for PoliticsHome, Anne McGuire said: "The feeding to the media of press releases and distortion of figures, and the calling into question whether people really are disabled is causing real harm."
She also accused ministers and their advisers of "creating an atmosphere that is causing fear and uncertainty in the lives of disabled people up and down the country".
