From April 2026, quarterly digital tax updates will become a legal requirement for many self-employed people. While MTD is intended to streamline the tax system, it also poses new hurdles for disabled entrepreneurs on Universal Credit, who already face disproportionate pressures in managing both business and health. The key is to prepare early, explore HMRC’s webinars and guidance, and seek out accessible accounting solutions.
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.
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.
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’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.
Job hunting and running a business share a common struggle; despite effort, visibility, and determination, opportunities remain scarce. The case of Joe Emery highlights the reality that many people face: endless applications, countless rejections, and a system that seems blind to the human toll of unemployment. Businesses, particularly disabled entrepreneurs, mirror this struggle, working tirelessly yet seeing minimal returns.
The UK government’s move to abolish the Human Rights Act and potentially leave the ECHR could leave citizens with no enforceable rights. What would this mean for the public, migrants, and democracy?
