DISABILITY rights activists demanded today they be heard by the new Labour government and presented a set of solutions to the crises faced by 16 million disabled people across Britain.

Campaigners from Disabled People Against Cuts (Dpac), Recovery In The Bin, Bromley & Croydon Unite Community and the Disability and Migrant Network gathered for the Disabled People Demand event outside Parliament.

Speakers included Dpac’s Paula Peters, Ben Sellers from the People’s Assembly and Labour MP John McDonnell. Music, art and poetry followed.
