Oh, so now it's a parliamentary democracy again, is it?"As a strong parliamentary democracy, where the voices and opinions of disabled people are represented and listened to, the UK is a place where disabled people's rights are respected, promoted and upheld," the British government's response said.

Worth pointing out that he could equally have been referring to Cameron, Osborne and countless other Tory MPs with that comment?

The numbers getting help from their council with care had fallen by 26% to 850,000 in the four years to 2014
Spending on care by councils had fallen by 25% in real terms in the five years to 2015, to £5.1bn
Additional money from the NHS and increased contributions from individuals had topped this up to £7.2bn, but that still represented a cut of 9%
More than 40% of money paid to care homes came from people paying for themselves
One million people with care needs now receive no formal or informal help - a rise of 10% in a year
Once younger people with disabilities are included, the funding shortfall was likely to be in the region of £1.9bn next year
