The UK Government’s Quiet War on Disabled People: Are Human Rights Under Threat?

The UK government’s approach to disability rights, mental health legislation, and human rights law is cause for serious concern. These policies, when combined, could lead to a society where disabled individuals are stripped of their autonomy, denied financial support, and placed under state control. If we do not act now, we risk allowing history to repeat itself. The rights of disabled people must not be sacrificed in the name of cost-cutting measures. It is time to push back against policies that prioritize financial savings over human dignity.

It is time for disabled individuals, advocacy groups, and legal professionals to unite and challenge these injustices before they become irreversible.

The Perils of Removing the Mental Health Investment Standard (MHIS)

The Mental Health Investment Standard (MHIS) has served as a critical framework ensuring that health commissioners dedicate proportionate funding to mental health services. Its removal would mark a significant regression in the fight to achieve parity between physical and mental health care. This decision threatens to dismantle years of progress and expose millions of vulnerable individuals to a worsening mental health crisis.
