ReplyDeleteWell that was a massive waste of time. In case you missed it, don't bother wading through the Guardian thread just read the DLA consultation document which she simply repeated. The only new information was that her experience of disability is based on living with her disabled mother.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think she would know better then...
I thought that was a pretty informative Q&A. True, she repeated what we already know, but hey, what did you think she's going to say?
