There was an almighty political row when Ed Miliband ambushed David Cameron in the House of Commons on Wednesday with comments that one of ministers, Lord Freud, had made some weeks ago. He'd been recorded secretly saying that some disabled people were not worth the full wage (the minimum wage) and suggesting that if someone wanted to work for 拢2 an hour that might be worth thinking about. Labour demanded his resignation and so did some disability rights campaigners. But then a backlash set in and many people - including parents with disabled children - said Lord Freud was right.

Remarks by a Bank of England policymaker this week put a new cast on then seemingly rosy state of the UK's economic recovery. The "agony and ecstacy" of a very strong economic recovery - which is essentially leaving millions of people worse off.

Laura Westcott (who is fully sighted) from SoundforSight.com, a charity raising awareness of the genetic eye disorder Retina Pigmentosa explained why it was important. Rachael Stevens, from charity RP Fighting Blindness, who has Retinitis Pigmentosa and started using a white cane a month ago, and Joe Rizzo-Naudi, who is partially sighted and doesn't use a cane, discuss.
