Thank Heaven's Its Almost Over

In 2017, the The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) summoned the UK Government to Geneva to discuss how it did not consider how the minimum standards for rights of people with disabilities was being met by the then Prime Minister, Theresa May's Government and concluded that it was committing 'a human catastrophe for disabled people' and 'grave and systematic violations of disabled people’s human rights'.
This week the Government, now under Rishi Sunak's leadership, was asked back to Switzerland to explain what it had done since 2017 to maintain human rights for chronically ill and disabled people in the UK.
That obviously didn't go as well as they expected as after 90 minutes of evidence to say all was well, the verdict was that the UK government were guilty of numerous violations and were actually causing causing the deaths of disabled people via the benefits system and had actually regressed their rights.
The UN Branch didn't really believe thr evidence from The Deputy Director of the Cabinet Office’s Disability Unit, Alexandra Gowlland, along with representatives from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), Department of Health and Social Care that they were providing 'ongoing commitment to support disabled people' by transforming the benefits system and putting adult social care 'at the heart of government reform plans'.
After giving the UK Governments words some consideration, it decided that 'Since 2017, we find evidence of regression in the standards and principles of the CRPD' and described their commitment to support disabled people was not supported by their narrative that 'demonises disabled people including proposals to cut disability benefits, tells disabled people that they are undeserving citizens and includes an 'onerous and complex social benefits system that is the basis for trauma and preventable mental distress'.
Plenty of shifting uncomfortably for the Ministers when the judge pointed to increasing rates of institutionalisation of disabled people due to inadequate government support, unsafe, inaccessible housing, the use of inexperienced and unqualified assessors and a Government that undermines disabled people, devalues them and that paint them as undeserving, skivers defrauding the system which has all resulted in hate crime and ended with a damning 'significant and shameful gap between the CRPD requirements and the lived experience of disabled people in the UK'.
With a weak response of how the UK Government are: 'fully committed to the UNCPRD', the Government representatives scuttled away back to Britain where thankfully the Conservative Government are in the fag end days their abominable and appalling stay in power.
