Dawn, can you end the appalling culture of presenteeism in the public sector, whereby line managers view absence as a moral failing and are incentivised to issue sanctions against disabled workers. Rife in the civil service and local government.

You, know little changes. Given this manifesto kept spending modest and costed them in a way sympathetic to right wing frames on the economy, clearly this stuff isn’t that expensive in the grand scheme of things. Why weren’t they done before? What are Labour going to do next!

i’m saddened that labour hasn’t gone further and pledged to treat people equally in line with mps wages why should people that can’t work suffer on £300 month while mps get 8k/month that are no different in law to disabled person that can’t work

Are you suggesting that disabled people get paid 8k a month to not work? How would we make it worthwhile for disabled people to get jobs?
