Tanni Grey-Thompson: 'Not enough disabled people in politics'

Paralympian Tanni Grey-Thompson says there's not enough disabled people in politics.

Speaking to Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú 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."

"I'd like to see a more diverse choice, i don't think we have a very diverse choice."
