The big fallacy of "Get Britain Working" is that almost no policy is designed to help disabled people #work. Cuts to PIP access, to UC Health and Access to Work do the opposite. The #TaxiTax will *Stop Getting Britain to Work*. And not just for disabled people this time, many work travel scenarios.
Many disabled people don't drive. Buses are infection hubs. Hospitals tell people to get a taxi or book taxis for them to A&E as ambulances can't cope. Some SEN children can only get to school by taxi. How is the #TaxiTax expected to work out economically for the #NHS, #councils?
From the makers of the UC Bill, a sequel: the #TaxiTax". After cutting #disabled people's welfare access, exposing Motability and blue badge drivers to so much hate that many can't face renewing, and dropping accessible rail, let's make taxis unaffordable next.
