An in-depth analysis of proposals to repeal the Equality Act 2010, exploring legal implications, human rights concerns, Reform UK policies, and the potential impact on disabled people and wider society.

An in-depth look at young people on Personal Independence Payment, challenging claims that some conditions are “non-work-limiting” and exploring how disabilities affect employment.

At present, an aspiring MP only needs a political party membership, a following, and £500 to stand for election. Unlike CEOs or professionals in the private sector, there is no requirement for qualifications in law, business, economics, or leadership. As a result, half of those elected may not be fit for the complex responsibilities of governance. If CEOs or seasoned business leaders had been tasked with managing PPE contracts, the outcome would have been drastically different. In the private sector, £10 billion wasted would mean immediate dismissal, asset recovery, and criminal investigation.

Labour is facing the prospect of another mass rebellion from its own MPs as concerns mount over proposed reforms to the universal credit system. The focus of unease is on changes to the assessment process for disability benefits, particularly the health element of universal credit (UC).

Contractual law is the backbone of all commercial transactions, setting out the rights and obligations of parties when entering into an agreement.

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 has been replaced by the Equality Act 2010, but its spirit lives on. The Equality Act not only carried forward the protections of the DDA but also expanded them, creating a more comprehensive framework for tackling discrimination. For disabled people, this means their rights are now protected under a single, stronger piece of legislation, but ensuring those rights are respected still requires continued advocacy, awareness, and enforcement.

At DisabledEntrepreneur.uk, we support the ACDP approach because it is designed by disabled people, for disabled people, and recognises the full reality of daily barriers. We reject any system that forces claimants to “prove” their disability-related costs with receipts or spending controls, as this strips people of dignity and human rights. Disabled people know best how to manage their own lives and finances; what they need is trust, fair support, and recognition of the extra costs they face, not surveillance.

Angela Rayner’s case highlights a bigger issue than one politician’s finances. It raises questions about trust, accountability, and fairness in the political system. While the courts or HMRC may decide whether any wrongdoing occurred, the court of public opinion has already drawn its verdict: the public demands equality before the law. No one, regardless of their position, should be able to bypass responsibilities that ordinary citizens would face the full force of the law for. If the rules apply to us, they must apply to them, too.
