News round-up: What Katie said and other stories
• Journalists and bloggers in the left-leaning broadsheets have been ramping up the pressure about welfare reform - a subject that is only going to get bigger through the month of October and into the new year. And yesterday David Cameron added his voice to the missing 5 year-old April Jones' campaign in which he made reference to his late son; Ivan Cameron had cerebral palsy as does April we learnt in the middle of this week.
• The Guardian ran a very long and interesting with reality model Katie Price about her disabled son Harvey. The journalist reports that she has built "a cabin on a patch of land" where she hopes he'll live when he's older. I'm sure it's much more comfortable than the image I conjured after reading those rather stark words because she says she's built it as she doesn't want him to live in a care home - she's very wary of people who might work there after seeing documentaries on TV about it.
