The UN’s 7th Periodic Report on the UK from the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural rights. It has been brought to my attention by Skwawkbox who writes, “UN says UK is discriminating against children, women, disabled and sick people, refugees, minorities and more”. I have not yet read it, but I believe the report was originally constructed during the Tory Government, although the right to reply was exercised by the Starmer Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
