Two people of a stage with a PowerPoint slide behind them with the words: Disability and social injustice in the UK 4.7 million disabled people in poverty; 600,000 children. Two thirds of households at food banks are disabled. Disability related extra costs Β£1,010 per month. 2 million people have long COVID. 42% of deaths of people with learning disabilities are avoidable. 2,015 autistic and learning disabled people in mental health wards. Austerity- "shirkers and scroungers" media narrative. 434,243 waiting for social care assessments/care. "Human catastrophe"
