This morning, I gave the U.K. Gov and the DWP both barrels in my speech to the U.N. Disability Rights Committee. U.K. is a systematic and grave disability rights abuser. When the #CRPD29 issues its report in March the evidence we submitted today will be founded upon. Solidarity

@blacktriangle1 Thank you for all your work pushing this thru 👍

I've had some worried messages about The Budget #Disability Benefits announcement. Pls note this was a White Paper, ie proposal not draft law so early stage. Much can change & it can't start til 2026, so for now don't fret. Here's @MindCharity assessment https://t.co/wi3mee51ja
