A last-minute bid has been launched to try and force Boris Johnson to reverse measures in the Coronavirus act which made it legal for councils to downgrade the support they gave to disabled people - including those in case homes Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey has written to Mr Johnson demanding he reverses the changes which treat disabled people as "expendable in the crisis", and which lawyers have said are a breach of international law.
It comes as MPs debate on the six-month review of the Coronavirus Act on Wednesday - where Mr Johnson faces a showdown vote with many of his own backbenchers planning to rebel over what they see as the excessive attack on people's civil liberties caused by the Covid-19 regulations.
