As many of you will have heard, Stephen Aselford, Disabled People Against Cuts stalwart and co-founder of Bromley and Croydon DPAC has very sadly and suddenly passed away. Stephen was a socialist and an activist to his core. His many friends and comrades across the disability world and the labour movement are deeply saddened but agree the best way to honour his memory is to continue the fight that was such an integral part of his life. There will be a longer tribute in next week’s DNS.
Details of an event to celebrate his life to follow.
Any condolence messages posted in the comments will be passed on to his family.

A good man and comrade. Whenever I met him in Croydon he’d tell me facts I didn’t know about all manner of things. He’ll be greatly missed by many
