Lyn Pornaro, CEO of @DEScotTweets now speaking compellingly about her own lifelong fight as a disabled person against discrimination and being ignored. Disabled people are still having to fight for their #HumanRights.
These proposals must be scrapped and the Government must listen to the millions of people impacted, including more than 4000 in my Liverpool West Derby constituency.
