If they had had the strength of their convictions in supporting the EDM then they should have voted for the EDM to be adopted in full and not amended as it turned out to be.
But well done Chloe again for voicing our concerns.
Its also a pity folk like Anne McGuire are just not getting it:-
As I have said, I believe that genuine discussions must take place with the organisations that represent the needs and ambitions of disabled people. Let me say this to the Government, and I say it with the utmost respect to my colleagues. I welcomed the Secretary of State's comments about cash support, but the Government know that disability benefits, including attendance allowance, are valued and that any proposed changes should be seen in the context of improving the lives of disabled and older people in the future-I recognise that we are talking about the future.
How about, God forbid Anne, "discussions" actually WITH disabled people and their Carers and not just "organisations that represent " ?
Sorry, that would lead to inconvenient things like the truth leaking out...
