Well done all! it’s just sad that we still need to highlight that disabled people want and deserve to have equal opportunities and rights in society.
@desmond_kenny says in many aspects “the programme reads like a regression”. He says it is too weighted towards services, therapies and care, with too little ambition to realise disabled people’s right to live independently.

Terrible it’s still going and had to come to all out strike in the first place.
Can you rt the tweet below please? We need to show support to these fantastic people who work so hard to support people with disabilities. They’re being dicked around by the government who won’t fund the service properly even though the labour court has ordered it! 1/n.
