This is disgusting, I feel betrayed by the party that used to be on our side, under virtually all its previous leaders. It's scary that no party has our backs, and I don't trust Sir Keir Starmer any more than the Tories on this.
Labour has finally admitted that it is not currently planning to implement the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities into UK law if it wins power at the next election.

One of our Disability legends has gone. David Toole, extraordinary dancer, Northerner, actor, and man, has sadly died. I'd just emailed him about becoming a board member of a theatre Co, as he was navigating the pitfalls in his social care. Terrible loss, its too sad. RIP David x
