Proposal to Replace PIP with ACDP Gains Momentum

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.

Understanding Police Powers

Police powers are vital for maintaining law and order, but they must always be balanced with civil liberties and human rights. Vulnerable groups, particularly minors and disabled individuals, require additional safeguards to prevent abuse or discrimination. Understanding your rights under PACE, questioning the use of stop and search, and knowing the complaint procedures are essential tools for seeking justice when things go wrong.

Universal Credit Face To Face Verification

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) requires claimants to verify their identity when applying for Universal Credit. While many applicants can complete this process online, others are referred to face-to-face verification at their local Jobcentre. The purpose of this step is to prevent fraud, ensure that benefit payments are made to the correct person, and confirm eligibility.

Union Jack, Rights, and Refugees

The Union Jack controversy highlights a deep divide between patriotism and humanitarian duty. British citizens should feel free to be proud of their heritage, while migrants should not be dehumanised. Ultimately, ‘ALL HUMANS DESERVE DIGNITY’ and the protection of their basic rights, regardless of citizenship. The real path forward lies not in pitting communities against each other, but in finding fair, practical solutions that honour both national sovereignty and universal human rights.

Angela Rayner Stamp Duty and Resignation

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.

Counteracting Deepfake, How the UK Can Follow Denmark’s Law

Deepfake technology presents a growing threat to personal dignity, democratic integrity, and public trust. While the UK has acted against sexually explicit deepfakes, wider identity protection remains fragmented. Denmark is leading with a landmark law granting citizens copyright-like rights over their face, voice, and body. The UK now has the opportunity to go further, combining legal reform with technological innovation to safeguard identity in the digital age.
