Jon Abrams, campaigns and justice coordinator for Inclusion London said: “Disabled people don’t need more reports – we need urgent, transformative reform to address the chronic underfunding and systemic failures in social care.” #ScrapCareCharges
Disabled campaigners have reacted with despair and exasperation to the government’s “deeply disappointing” announcement that it is delaying long-term reform of the adult social care system in England.

It's been a busy year. Many Disabled people have had high hopes for the Labour government, but how does Santa rate Labour's policies so far on Disabled people and employment? (Full policy analysis to come in the new year) The Disability Poverty Campaign Group, which we help to run alongside Disability Rights UK, welcomes mandatory pay gap reporting and £240m in funding for employment support. But Labour's messaging so far hasn't touched on employers, reasonable adjustments or Access to Work delays. This year, Santa is giving Labour coal, not oranges, for their policies on Disabled people and work. Next year, they need to focus on how employers and government can remove the barriers we face in work, rather than pushing us into work that will make us ill. Image description: What will Santa deliver to the Labour Party’s stocking this year... an orange, or a lump of coal? Let’s look at their policies on Disabled people and employment... Cartoon Santa with a sack. Logos for Disability Poverty Campaign Group and Inclusion London. 2 oranges for mandatory Disability Pay Gap reporting for big companies and £240 million in new funding for employment support programmes. 3 lumps of coal, for public messaging focuses entirely on what Disabled people need to do, without discussing employers’ role, no steps to enforce employers’ legal duty to make reasonable adjustments and no steps to tackle delays with Access to Work (government programme that funds reasonable adjustments) Uh oh... Coal in your stocking! Next year, focus on the barriers that keep Disabled people out of work. Employers and government must tackle them to give Disabled people a fair chance. Cartoon of 2 oranges and 3 lumps of coal, resulting in a sack full of coal in their stocking.

Adam Gabsi, chair of Inclusion London, said the proposed changes to the WCA send “a dangerous message that the government is willing to ignore the lived realities of disabled people in favour of reducing costs. “I strongly urge decision-makers to reconsider these proposed changes and engage meaningfully with disabled people and their representative organisations.” #NoMoreBenefitDeaths
The high court in London has this week heard a legal challenge that aims to expose how the last Conservative government used a “sham consultation” to try to push through “cataclysmic” cuts to disability benefits of nearly £3 billion over four years.
