Anastasia ashley is having a good day. But its not always like this. Most days she is unable to get out of the house. The 24 year old has multiple sclerosis. She used to work full time, but now she struggles to get around. She applied for a disability benefit and was assessed at home by a healthcare professional from a private company. She says she told says she could only walk 20 metres, but when the report came back it said she could walk further. She didnt give me a physical assessment. I was sat down the entire time. I was very, very cross about that. Todays report identifies a culture of mistrust around the whole process. It says assessors risk being viewed as at best lacking competence and at worst actively deceitful. The Committee Says the governments loe bar for what is considered acceptable leaves rooms for reports to be riddled with obvious omissions. Clearly the system needs a major overhaul, but there are some things government could do better to improve it. Automatic audio recording of assessments for people, why not share the assessment results with the claimant at the point of claim a decision . The government says assessments work for the majority of people and it is committed to improving transparency.

The foreign secretary borisjohnson will address what he calls the grief and alienation of those who voted to stay in the European Union in a speech later today.

What exactly is he expected to say later . We are expecting a very conciliatory tone from him later. He wa nts to conciliatory tone from him later. He wants to reach out to people on both sides of the debate, a recognition that there are still divisions. He says he understands the anxieties amongst remainers but he wants to convince them that brexit is about hope and not fear. He also has strong words for people he thinks are trying to stop brexit and wants to warn them that they would be a disastrous mistake, but this is a first ina disastrous mistake, but this is a first in a series of speeches we will get from senior cabinet ministers over the coming weeks. Number 10 is calling the series of speeches the road to brexit. Theresa may will speak about security this weekend and we will hear from the brexit secretary david davis about business, from the Cabinet Office secretary about devolution. This is all a plan from number 10 to reveal more details about what exactly our relationship with the eu will look like in the future. Theresa may has been under great pressure to reveal that. There is no agreement yet among cabinet ministers on what exactly the future relationship with the eu will look like. Cabinet ministers will gather for an away day to try and flesh this out, what in the speeches that we are expecting to hear, including from liam fox, we are going to get more detail and they will be very closely watched both here in westminster and brussels for the exact arrangement that the government wants to see. Borisjohnson will also that the government wants to see. Boris johnson will also speak that the government wants to see. Borisjohnson will also speak about controlling immigration, but quite a few m ps controlling immigration, but quite a few mps say the home office doesnt have the resources to deal with any changes to the system. This is a warning from the Home Affairs Select committee that there are no preparations in place. Not enough preparations in place. Not enough preparations in place for a new immigration system post except and no clarity yet on what exactly the government wants it the transition period and beyond. Interestingly in these speeches we will hear, the home secretary amber rudd isnt among them. The government has been promising a draft policy of future immigration that has been delayed and mps are also criticising that. The home office says we are well prepared, it is ridiculous to suggest otherwise, but it is clear that there is impatience now from all sides for more flesh on the bone of brexit plans. Thank you very much and speak to you later.
