We heard this rhetoric when Rishi Sunak gave his speech about welfare reform & sick-note culture. He said it was a 'moral mission' but the UN committee had a different view describing the reforms as devaluing disabled people & undermining human dignity.

The UN Committee report is damning about the UK government's failure to uphold disabled people's human rights.
Read the DPAC NI full response to its findings, which also references the Northern Ireland Executive.
