We asked what was on your mind ahead of the General Election and you answered in your droves.

Despite an estimated 16 million people being disabled in the UK many of you told us you feel invisible - why is that? People with learning disabilities are said to be the group least likely to own photographic ID, such as a driving licence, potentially adding an extra barrier to polling day. We fill you in on how to prepare.

And our fabulous panel – Politco reporter Bethany Dawson, Mark Brookes from Dimensions UK and My Vote, My Voice and Fazilet Hadi from Disability Rights UK –give their insights and predictions on what might happen when it comes to key areas including social care and benefits.

Presented by Emma Tracey Production by Daniel Gordon and Alex Collins Recorded and mixed by Dave O’Neill Edited by Beth Rose
