Only 17 peers opposed the UC Bill, Govt has rammed it through. We defeated all the PIP measures. But the bill remains harmful to disabled people. Shameful exercise of anti democratic ableist power.

Everyone who posted on social media, everyone who contacted their MP, everyone who protested, everyone who spoke to media, everyone who showed kindness, anger, integrity. All the stress, exhaustion, insomnia, illness. And Still We Rise!.
We did not stop the Bill, but we took a huge chunk out of it & the govt panicked, they thought we'd be an easy target, we were not. And we're not going away now we have come together to defend our lives and Rights. A salute to you all!.#NothingAboutUsWithoutUs .#DisabilityPride
