Local MP Ignores the Plight of Disabled Constituents - My Response.
Dear Mr Rees -Mogg, I was very disappointed to find that you and one other MP voted against an inquiry into the effects of the government's Welfare Reform policies. As a disabled person, long time disability rights activist, and one of your constituents , I find your actions heartless and short- sighted to say the least. While a hundred and twenty five of your fellow MP's (finally) voted for an inquiry into these damaging, divisive, and compassionless policies, you wanted to ignore them. You wanted to ignore the plight of disabled people, 10,700 of which (at last official count) have died after being wrongly found 'fit for work' by ATOS, many through suicide. http://statistics.dwp.gov.uk/asd/asd1/adhoc_analysis/2012/incap_decd_recips_0712.pdf You wanted to ignore the devastating impact of Bedroom Tax, which has contributed to a rise in homelessness and hardship across the country.

We are truly shocked at the revelations from the report from Her Majesty's Inspector of Prisons on how 2 elderly and vulnerable people were handcuffed whilst dying in Harmondsworth Detention Centre. A grossly excessive action, showing a disgusting lack of humanity. The question must be asked, as to why they were even in a detention centre in the first place. There must be a fundamental review of Home Office procedures around Immigration detention and deportation, as a matter of urgency, with all 133 of the recommendations of the report seriously dealt with.
