Disabled workers at 54 Remploy factories across the UK are holding the first of two 24-hour strikes today, protesting against the Government's announced closure of half of the sites.

Ahead of this morning's action, Remploy team leader Neil Pearce told ITV News' Emily Morgan the impact of losing his job of 25 years and why he believes the mass shutdown is a "cop out."
