UK disability groups explain plight of disabled people to the UN. Tory minister absent
As seen on Twitter: but is the UK government already planning ways to discredit a new United Nations investigation into the (mis)treatment of disabled people here?
That’s right – the UK’s minister for disabled people, Tom Pursglove, couldn’t be bothered to attend the United Nations in Geneva to provide the Tory government’s side of the story:
UK groups representing disabled people are giving evidence today on plight of disabled people in our country. The government tried to use stalling tactic to prevent this & the government minister hasn’t even bothered to show up. Disgraceful but typical show of disrespect #CRDP23 https://t.co/lfiwrPLkng

This Writer will dare to predict what will happen:
Firstly, the government – that will have had plenty of time to put together a report before this meeting took place – will complain that it was not allowed an opportunity to present its case.
Secondly, any findings by the UN will be vilified by government representatives, in line with what has happened to other UN reports criticising the UK’s Tory government in the past.
Nothing will be done to improve the lives of disabled people in the UK.

Fascist tory fake government supposedly work for UK citizens and this includes disabled women, children and men but as usual the arrogant fascist tories only work for themselves and increasing their bloated wealth!
Democracy ceased when the fascist tories seized power in 2010 and their arrogance is astounding! Proves for umpteenth time the fascist tories hold disabled women, children and men in contempt because anyone who isn’t a fascist wealthy tory is not human and hence not worth ‘time of day!’
