  So today I decided to send the most important email of my life. I emailed the Prime Minister, Andy Burnham. I mentioned that God is reasonable and wants to listen to us and react accordingly. I asked Andy to listen to disability action groups. We face utterly vile discrimination. Years of Tory propaganda demonising the disabled as benefit scroungers. It needs to stop.
