 Anger as Sunak scraps dedicated minister for disabled people.

TLDR: previous Minister of State swapped over to Immigration (he was already clearly a law enforcement wannabee) and not replaced, disability role given to an existing Under Secretary of State).

([personal profile] kaberett, check out the chair pictured, looks familiar!)

Disabled people don't need a minister, thinks Sunak - they just need to try harder (caution, may contain sarcasm) 

I actually wish they'd axed it entirely, because then we could make the case for reinstating it in the Government Equalities Office, rather than the Department of Work and Pensions where it is now, and separate it from the benefits enforcement role. Obviously we'd first want rid of Kemi Badenough from GEO so it can actually start working for equality instead of against it.

Well, that's just Disgustingly Wrong on Sunak's part!
