We showed Larry the Downing Street cat our petition yesterday 📦 He gave it a sniff, a stare, and (we think) his full support 🐱 101,025 people told the government the cost of cuts is catastrophic - no pun intended.

One of these men could be the next Prime Minister. But neither of them mentioned disability once in the election debate. So this is our message to all parties: 📢 Disabled people must not be ignored in this election.

You may have seen rumours about the future of the Motability scheme. So far, the government has not confirmed any changes. But let's be clear. Life already costs more when you're disabled. Making Motability harder to access or afford will rob freedom from disabled people ❌

✉️ We’ve written an open letter to the Prime Minister. The role of Disability Minister is no longer a dedicated role, and has been downgraded and merged with the role of a more junior minister. The UK’s 16 million disabled people deserve better.
