Many disabled people may be feeling gaslighted today.

Within a minute of declaring that he 'will never dismiss or downplay the illnesses people have', Rishi Sunak spoke of 'over-medicalising the everyday challenges and worries of life.'

Government must listen to disabled people to formulate policy that truly tackles barriers to employment, rather than using harmful, stereotyping rhetoric.

Fixing these issues & providing tailored inclusive employment support, as well as better in-work support, should be the priority. Instead, disabled people are being demonised, accused of being work-shy & threatened with withdrawal of benefits. This is cynical and hugely damaging.

Leonard Cheshire It's about so much more affecting those with a disability not just employment.
Very disappointed at the lack/depth of comment Leonard Cheshire after such an appalling announcement yesterday. Where's your response to the PM ..... ?

A lack of adequate mental health support, poor access to social care, and long NHS waiting lists are among the key reasons why not enough people are well enough to work.

Leonard Cheshire Meanwhile the cruel Rishi Sunak wipes off £14 b of PPE fraud as “what the public wants” See the irony. A free pass for spiv Tory chums, but utter cruelty for the sick and vulnerable. He really is ghastly.

quite frustrating, humiliating, for those on the receiving end of work capability assessments, which are draconian punitive, ultimately do the very thing that they shouldn't, claimaints to suicide god bless charities like Leonard Cheshire Scope CitizensAdvice and others
