Translation: Farage says 'fuck disabled people in particular'
Working from home is a essential adaptation for a lot of disabled people, and EDI (because we're not in Trumpland and don't use DEI) includes accessibility services.
And they want councils to provide fewer services. Of course.

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a harmful practice that is widely performed in around 30 countries in Africa, the Middle East & Asia.
It is often considered a cultural rite of passage for girls.
Evidence shows FGM can be prevented, incl. by advancing health, rights & gender equality.
