✉️ We’ve written an open letter to the Prime Minister. The role of Disability Minister is no longer a dedicated role, and has been downgraded and merged with the role of a more junior minister. The UK’s 16 million disabled people deserve better.

"All of us are not focusing on disabled people enough. When any policy is made we should think first of disabled people. Not coming to it "at some point". Actually, if you get it right for disabled people, you get it right for everybody." @AndyBurnhamGM #DisabledPeoplesManifesto

🚨 The government is set to rewrite the benefits system. #Budget2023 But they’ve made many, many mistakes when they’ve tried to do this in the past. They must now focus on building trust in a system that has failed disabled people for decades 🧵 1/8
