Esther McVey speaks during the Conservative Party annual conference in October 2018
ESTHER McVEY as prime minister would strike fear into the hearts of disabled people across the country, a leading disability rights activist said today.
The comments follow Ms McVey’s declaration that she “would be going forward” as a potential successor to Theresa May, arguing that the Tories need a leader who “believes in Brexit.”
Disabled People Against Cuts founder Linda Burnip told the Morning Star that the “cruel, vicious, downright nasty” former work and pensions secretary had been the “most ruthless” of all Tory ministers in cutting disabled people’s social security payments.
