This Morning: Guest who changed disability law wears message to the government on her outfit

Barbara Lisicki is a British disability rights activist, comedian, and equality trainer and appeared on ITV's This Morning, hosted by Phillip Schofield and Josie Gibson, to discuss the new drama made about her extraordinary life. The story is being told in a one-off episode on BBC2 and is called: Then Barbara Met Alan.

The story tells of how Barbara Lisicki and Alan Holdsworth, two cabaret performers, became the driving force behind the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act and Barbara joined Phil and Josie on the sofa to talk about it. But eagled-eyed viewers were quick to take to Twitter and point out that Barbara was displaying a message to the government on a badge pinned to her black roll-neck jumper.

One Twitter use said: "Loving Barbara wearing her 'Kick the Tories' out badge proudly in front of Pip." While another said: "Respect to Barbara for wearing her 'Kick Out The Tories' badge".
