    Interesting to see her background.  She's been working in the DWP since July 2019, her father was "on benefits for a head injury for 25 years" and she co chaired the APPG for carers. 
       But her voting history saw her voting against increasing benefits for those unable to work/chronically ill. She actually voted for reductions in disabled benefits.

    no need to wait. her voting record speaks for itself.

    and also it's quite ironic she hides behind having a relative who's disabled to justify her credentials.

    in related news, many disabled people tend to be systemically abused - sometimes fatally - by their caregivers. so her alleged credentials mean nothing.
