Hello and welcome to a world to win a podcast from Tribune magazine. I'm Grace Blakely

bringing you your weekly dose of socialist news, theory and action from around the world.

This week I talk to Ellen Clifford, author of The War on Disabled People, Capitalism

Welfare and the Making of a Human Catastrophe, who's also on the Steering Committee of

D-PAC, Disabled People Against the Cuts. We discuss successive UK governments, breaches

of the human rights of disabled people, how the left can be made a more inclusive space

for disabled activists, and how the pandemic has affected the lives of disabled people after

a decade of austerity. Thank you so much to all our amazing patrons who make this show

government policy really over at least the last decade. And I want to start by talking about

DPAC, Disabled People Against Cuts. Now you're on the National Steering Group for DPAC.
