#English #Sonnets #poetry #disability
Who is listening to our irrate voice?
Why aren't we, the disabled, being heard?
We are disabled but not from choice.
We send emails to our MPs - our words.
The Prime Minister is not disabled.
What does he know about disability?
How would he like to be so labelled?
And treated with downright hostility?
We need more financial help, not less.
He is attacking the most vulnerable.
Reform the system, but don't make a mess.
He and this government are insufferable.
Live a month as the disabled do
Then maybe we will listen to you.

**Following the u-turn over the Winter Fuel payments to pensioners, Mr. Starmer has now u-turned over his so-called 'reform of the disability benefits system. Now, it will be for new claimants. This is still not fair and was, as usual, just a cost cutting exercise on the most vulnerable in society. Thank you to the MPs who rebelled. It appears someone was listening!**
