This week during parliamentary questions, Shadow Minister for Disabled People, Vicky Foxcroft asked Conservative Claire Coutinho why they were no longer equal counterparts.
This is due to the fact that the role of Minister for Disabled People was demoted to Parliamentary Under-Secretary under the brief rule of Liz Truss.
Foxcroft said in the Commons: "What messages does this send to disabled people who already feel like an afterthought from this government?"
