Furious disability campaigners forced George Osborne to abandon a planned photoshoot with under fire Tory MP Zac Goldsmith today.

Placard-waving protesters screamed “blood on your hands” as the pair cut short the scheduled event after just two minutes at which Goldsmith hinted at a Government a U-turn.

It comes amid mounting anger at the Chancellor’s plans to slash vital disability benefits including the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for those unable to wash or go to the toilet unaided.

Questioned at a train station in North London about the protesters a clearly rattled Mr Goldsmith, who is bidding to be the next London Mayor, said the cuts were “not a fait accompli”.

Instead of the planned ‘walkabout’, the Millionaire MPs donned hard hats and hi-vis vests but hid from chanting protesters in a makeshift office in a metal container for two hours at Northumberland Park Station in Tottenham.

Tory aides then instructed Transport for London engineers to dig a hole for the photoshoot on industrial land out of shouting distance of the irate group.

Sources told the Mirror engineers even had to check the site for gas pipes before the “pointless hole” was dug.

Eventually Osborne and a sheepish-looking Zac Goldsmith dashed out of the container in to a Range Rover Discovery which drove them just 100 metres to the hole as protesters shouted “shame on you”.

Then less than two minutes later Osborne was whisked away past protesters in his blacked out Range Rover.

A source said: “The whole thing was a farce. Everyone was complaining but the aids just said ‘blame the Daily Mirror and the protesters’.”

George Osborne’s plans to cut £4.4billion from PIP over the next four years has caused outrage among those who work with the disabled.

It comes in the week the Daily Mirror revealed that Zac Goldsmith has been sacked as patron of his local disability group Richmond Aid after he voted to cut Employment Support Allowance (ESA) days before the budget.

Tory London mayoral hopeful Zac Goldsmith voted to cut £30-a-week from disabled people claiming ESA despite warnings from charities that the benefit already barely covers basic living costs.

Some 290,000 disabled people who struggle to get dressed or use the toilet without help are in line to lose £4,100 a year under the cruel PIP cuts.

A further 80,000 will see their weekly payments cut from £82 a week to £55.

Before his hasty retreat today Mr Osborne told the Press Association: “Let me be absolutely clear, this Government will always protect the most vulnerable and help disabled people.”

He added: “We are going to make sure that it goes to those who need our help most. So in the coming months we will be talking to colleagues, to disability charities, to make sure we get this absolutely right.”

Mr Goldsmith said: “All policies need to be reviewed all the time to make sure that people don’t fall through the cracks. That is the nature of legislation.

“This is not a fait accompli. There is a discussion happening and it is happening up and down the country through MPs such as myself, feeding information back to Government and doing our best to ensure the policy works for everyone.”

But the Prime Minister’s office insisted there would be no budging on the cuts.

David Cameron ’s official spokeswoman said: “The Government’s position hasn’t changed. We remain committed to making these much-needed reforms.”

It came after Education Secretary Nicky Morgan described the plan as no more than a “suggestion” that is still being discussed in Government.

Jeremy Corbyn said Labour is ready to combine with Conservative rebels to inflict a humiliating defeat on the Government.

The Labour leader said 200,000 of the 640,000 people hit by the disability changes would lose out altogether.

Mr Corbyn said: “It is utterly appalling what they are proposing. We will be forcing a vote in Parliament on this. I hope and believe all opposition parties will join with us in that.

“I believe a number of Conservative MPs are so upset about this they too will vote against the Government.”
