The leader of the Conservatives, Kemi Badenoch, has said she does not believe one in four people are disabled and the term is in danger of losing its meaning, as she used a speech to criticise the size of the welfare state.
And she’s right. If everybody is disabled, then nobody is.
My Twitter feed is bursting at the seams with people feeling self-righteous about Badenoch’s eminently reasonable statements. They are drowning in self-pity and clearly experiencing great pleasure at doing it. Being sick, incapable, and wounded is like a badge of honor that they won’t relinquish.
