#DisabilityMinister - Twitter Hashtag

Why is #DisabilityMinister a junior post within the #DWP & not a Cabinet position? At the very least, it should come under #WomenAndEqualities. #Disabled people's issues aren't just about #benefits! We face terrible #discrimination, for a start. @andyburnham @bphillipsonMP

Can you get this trending? The role of #DisabilityMinister should NOT be a junior post within the #DWP. #Disability is a #CivilRights issue. @thelizcarr @Tanni_GT @MikScarlet @DisRightsUK @johnpringdns @scope @FoxNikkiFox @drfrancesryan

Dear @AndyBurnham, Please make #DisabilityMinister a Cabinet post and, for God's sake, stop it being a junior position within the #DWP! The idea that the only social issues around #disability relate to #benefits is incredibly insulting! Yours, Every #Disabled Person in the UK

@johnpringdns @CounsellingSam @andyburnham Is it a virtual Disability Unit, as whenever there is a need for a minister to represent disabled people, none is to be found, and it falls to Work and Pensions ministers to make up something like "welfare incentivises ill-health"? Can we campaign for a real #DisabilityMinister?

Dear @andyburnham, please heed the calls to create a #DisabilityMinister. This role needs to be independent of the DWP to listen, be comprehensive, trusted and to avoid conflict of interest, stigma and pigeonholeing. 1 in 4 people are disabled. #Disabled rights are human rights.

Dear @AndyBurnham, Please make #DisabilityMinister a Cabinet post. 1 in 4 of the UK is disabled. Please take it out of the DWP. We deserve our own department. The idea that the only issues around #disability relate to #benefits is extremely angering.

Let's get this trending. There needs to be a real #DisabilityMinister independent of the DWP — it's an #Equality, #Health and cross-departmental issue. "Change" needs to mean *change*. @johnpringdns @DisRightsUK @InclusionLondon @Dis_PPL_Protest

Minister for Disabled People SCRAPPED. We are 24% of the population. Healthcare, benefits, cares, quality of life… all these things don’t matter to the Government. We are left behind. Shame on you @RishiSunak @Conservatives https://t.co/UT1UNdWjCv

It is absolutely despicable that the government have scrapped the Minister for Disabled People position. Over the past 13 years, the Tories have failed disabled people including through the hostile environment of cuts, pandemic negligence, and scapegoating.
