The latest Badenoch-ism

Part of Kemi Badenoch’s justification for the Tories’ suggested £36 billion welfare cuts is:

millions of people can and do contribute to our economy to their families to their communities even when they face serious challenges. Double amputees run marathons. People who are housebound do wonderful creative work from home. People with autism run some of the biggest tech companies in the world. [Emphasis mine]

. . . and people with half a brain cell run major political parties.

  • The assistance that partially sighted people in paraolympic sports slightly annoys me as their sighted guides dont' get the recognition they deserve and the sight impaired person wouldn't be able to do the sport if they didn't have a guide.

    Honestly, I think this statement will backfire, to many people know people who are disabled in some way for this to be seen as realistic.
