As Matt Hancock claims he's joined #ImACeleb to 'raise awareness of dyslexia', it feels pertinent to mention that, as Health Secretary, he led a covid response that saw people with learning disabilities being up to 6.4 times more likely to die on average. local.gov.uk/our-support/sa…
People with learning disabilities were being given 'do not resuscitate' orders, often without their families' knowledge, so they would be left to die if they caught covid. Matt Hancock was Secretary of State for Health and Social Care at the time #ImACeleb theguardian.com/world/2021/feb…
I wrote about the way that people with learning disabilities were being deemed 'not worth saving' for @HUCKmagazine, and how disabled people were being left to die by the systems that were supposed to protect them on Matt Hancock's watch #ImACeleb huckmag.com/perspectives/o…
If Matt Hancock wants to 'raise awareness' of dyslexia, then he can start by acknowledging the thousands of neurodivergent people who died under his covid policies. And if he wants us to see him as more 'human', then he can start by treating us like human beings #ImACeleb
