Lynn Murray: MPs must stop abortion law discriminating against those with disabilities

It cannot be right that the law offers stringent protections against unequal treatment only after birth.

John Bald: The attack on phonics from the dyslexia lobby is misguided

Factors responsible for reading problems include poor teaching, visual stress under fluorescent light, and temporary hearing loss in early childhood.

Celia Hensman: The disabled community must be better represented in Parliament and local councils

With nearly 14 million disabled people living in the UK, more should be involved in legislation and decision making.

Elliot Colburn: Disabled children and families have been hit hard by Covid. Now they must get the support they need.

We need specific, ring-fenced funding for them – which we on the Women and Equalities committee have been calling for.

Caroline ffiske: How non-crime hate incidents came into force. And why they should be reformed – or scrapped altogether.

Introduced with the best of intentions, they have grown and morphed beyond reason – more so than Macpherson could surely have imagined.

Esther McVey: We should honour our manifesto commitment to close the digital divide. Especially during this time of Covid.

The levelling up agenda depends upon nation-wide digital inclusivity. If we give up on this, we will be trying to deliver it with one hand held behind our back.

Andy Cook: To help reduce mass unemployment, back up Universal Credit with Universal Support

The first in a mini-series of pieces from the Centre for Social Justice on Covid-19 – and helping those in deep poverty.

Philippa Stroud: The Coalition stopped officially measuring poverty – which left its successor unsighted over free schools meals

We are allowing others to create a narrative for us, and in the absence of an agreed poverty measure and subsequent strategy, we always will.

Maria Miller: Domestic abuse can stretch on for a lifetime. So why do we stop recording it after the age of 74?

I urge Ministers to make one simple change to the Domestic Abuse Bill – to start the necessary recording of data of victims and survivors.

Phillipa Stroud: Coronavirus has hit those in poverty hardest. The Government must support employment, fast.

The next step is for a commission to be established that can develop solutions to the current inequalities we have seen.

Victoria Borwick: Ministers must act to stop vulnerable people falling through the gap of the Covid-19 safety net

The Government needs to expand the definition of ‘vulnerable’ to include carers and families with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities).

John Hayes: The plan to impose abortion on demand on Northern Ireland by the end of this month – and why it should be stopped

To respect devolution, the UK Government must not impose such a drastic development on the Province. Is this a test run for England?

Emily Farley: To close the disability employment gap, we need the voluntary sector’s ‘little platoons’

The Government’s current approach to contracts locks out small, specialist providers in exchange for a handful of multinationals.

Robert Halfon: Let licence fee payers vote for the BBC’s next Director-General.

Plus: More Ronseal, please. And: If the Treasury wants to flick multiple V-signs at blue collar voters, it will put up fuel duty.

Northern Ireland Bill 1) Maria Caulfield: Damaging, opportunistic, anti-democratic. The Commons should reject these abortion amendments

There has been no consultation with those who live in the part of the UK that these changes would affect.
