DISABILITY campaigners occupied the entrance to the House of Commons today after they were blocked by security guards – despite having permission to enter.
The campaigners were delivering 650 MPs copies of a book revealing damning evidence of deaths and suffering caused among disabled people denied benefits since 2010.
A coalition of disability campaign groups raised £6,000 to provide every MP with the book – How a Violent Government Bureaucracy Killed Hundreds and Hid the Evidence – due to fears that the Labour government may continue, or even worsen, the policies that led to the deaths of disabled people denied benefits.
