Sunak dumps the disability minister role in DISABILITY HISTORY MONTH!

A minister for common sense and anti-wokism is fine by Sunak, but disabled people no longer have a dedicated government rep.
Right, the disability minister brief has been binned by Rishi Sunak because the Tory war on woke now apparently requires a minister and there’s no room for both! Who better to appoint to said new role than an MP already responsible for dumbing down people daft enough to watch her show on GBeebies, with her equally unpleasant Tory MP husband, the shame of Shipley Philip Davies, than Esther McVey, better know to people subject to the whims of the Department for Work and Pensions as Fester McVile, for good reason, so deeply unpleasant was she in the role, she ended up losing her seat in 2015, before being handed George Osborne’s safe seat when he left parliament in 2017. Of course her official title role is Minister without Portfolio, but even the mainstream press haven’t shied away from spelling out exactly what she’s there to do, referring to her as the Common Sense Tsar. That’d be the day,
But to tell disabled people around the country that you don’t matter, as this move does, downgrading the role and in disability history month at that, just underlines how little the unelected economic obsessive Sunak cares for those with disabilities.
Right, so I’ve done a number of videos recently concerning disability issues, long term sick and disabled people, I’m an unpaid carer, it’s an issue I take to heart, after 13 years of being abused to the point thousands have lost their lives how can you not be and I take very little nonsense from people who bleat about them being shirkers and skivers because anyone could have a life changing event happen to them tomorrow and the reality of the state of disability aid and care and how such people and their carers and treated and considered, well, it’ll be an eye opener to some who really need their eyes opened.
But seriously, no matter what doubts you might have about how genuine you think some people are, surely, you can understand the importance of the government of the day having a minister for disabled people. It’s hard enough getting representation amongst MPs of disabled people, there are few disabled MPs, people who truly understand what day to day life is like for their disabled constituents, without removing the role entirely, only to downgrade it and lump it in with health and work, because all that shows is a desire by this Tory government, completely in line with the reforms Jeremy Hunt announced in the Autumn Statement, to get people working again and get them off their benefits if they can possibly manage it. It’s what they’ve done for 13 years, it has to stop. Compassion and common sense and an appreciation that they can’t all work or jobs they can do don’t necessarily exist or pay well enough to live on. Also without a minister dedicated to disabled people’s interests, the ability of disabled people to help shape and have a say on disability policy is impacted upon too. Bear in mind 24% of the country are actually registered as long term sick or disabled, according to the Charity Scope, that’s 16 million people that are being told that they don’t matter by the Tories.

I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
