Paralympian Tanni Grey-Thompson says there's not enough disabled people in politics.
Speaking to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 5 live's Afternoon Edition, the athlete said, "there's nowhere near enough disabled people in politics, there's a few things to help them out but it's quite brutal to get involved in grass roots politics and to fight your way up."
