We are once again saddened to read a story like this. We want to live in a world where people are valued equally and treated the same. @SarahPickard15 @LDEselfadvocate @GraceEyreF @mencap_charity @CarolineLucas @peterkyle @lloyd_rm

Help us have our say! If you know someone with a learning disability - make sure they know about voting. According to a @mencap_charity study - 70% of people with LD want to vote. @SarahPickard15 @BHGreens @BHConservatives @BHLibDems1 @bhlabour

Our hustings covered by the BBC. People with learning disabilities are concerned about many things, universal credit, transport, Brexit. Do you know anyone who may need extra support to use their democratic right to vote? What can you do to help? youtu.be/ph7VIq-RQzw
