A United Nations committee has accused the UK government of demonising disabled people and treating them as “undeserving citizens” by preparing to fund tax cuts through slashing disability benefits.

I’ll never forget being screamed at ‘being an unemployed benefit cheat’ for using my disabled bus pass…whilst travelling to work.

It was the direct result
of the government scrounger rhetoric, which stated over a decade ago and has only got worse. #CRDP24

#CRDP24 Shameful: Britain hauled before the UN for violating disabled people's rights. By Rachel Charlton-Dailey thelead.uk/shameful-brita…

Still no response to the questions on benefits eligibility assessments or benefits deaths.

We’re five speakers in.

Many of us lost our jobs because of chronic illness and disability and when work places wouldn’t implement adjustments. How can we be fit for work now when services are crumbling? Media is pretending mental illness doesn’t exist #CRDP24

Tell me again how it will be great to get Labour in? Both refuse to ratify. #CRDP24

I can't watch #CRDP24 listening to the lies being told by non disabled government people is making me too angry and upset.

FYI abolitionist folk AbolitionandDisabilityJusticeCollective Abolitionist Futures any other groups who would want to know about the grave and system abuses by UK Government, in particularly on institutionalisation of disabled people. #CRDP24

Inhumane and unjust - the system is broken & designed to break the vulnerable

#CRDP24 #DefendOurRights

Years of 'scrounger' rhetoric has caused the rise in #disability hate crime!

The government treats us like we're nothing, so it has seemingly become OK for society to do the same.

#CRDP24

As the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions should you not have been attending the UN CRPD defending your appalling treatment of disabled people? #CRDP24

There is no place for us in society now.

We are not valued or wanted, despite government claims to the contrary now.

Over a decade of cruel actions have spoken louder than words!

We are punished via Tory policy.

U.K. Govt questions on #CRDP24 - Please see our website for our joint Fawcett Society submission on Article 29 of the United Nations #DisabilityConvention which would enable more Disabled people to get #AccessToPolitics and stop violations of the #RightToLife occurring. DPAC

My late lunch break is now coming to an end. I’m one of the lucky disabled people who can work (only because of care package).

I’m livid and my heart breaks for all the people who have died as direct result of the trauma they faced at the hands of the benefit system. #CRDP24

Is it me, or are the UK Government's representatives just reading out their departments' remit, policies and procedures and calling it a Q&A? #CRDP24

Very limited energy again, but thank you to everyone reporting on #CRDP24
