Unacceptable concessions. They’re not concessions. They don’t look after all disabled people. Please write to your MP. #TakingThePIP #CripsAgainstCuts #DisabilityRebellion disabilityrightsuk.org/news/… ALT Chez dressed as a traitor in a cloak holding a scroll

We are about to run a national experiment in what happens when you make severely ill and disabled people poorer. We already know the results: worse mental health, more crisis care, more hospital admissions, more homelessness. The LCWRA cut for new claimants begins Monday.

Oh no! I think I’ve left my leather satchel and laptop on an Overground train (Hounslow to Victoria) that I exited at Vauxhall at about 14.20. It has my MacBook in it. I don’t expect a miracle but I guess saying it out loud here is all I can do. It has lots of my work on it :(

Why should MPs get travel paid for on £94kpa minimum when they vote AGAINST Disabled people being able to use a bus pass b4 9.30am? @UKLabour Wants Disabled to work, right? @darrenpjones @karinsmyth @KerryMP @damienegan @BristolLabour #TakingThePIP

Please if you can take 5 minutes to raise this issue of the 9.30am cut off for disabled concessionary pass travel with your MP, it can go a long way! I’ve never heard back from my MP so quickly - I got a reply overnight and they are raising issue. #disabled #takingthepip
📝Yesterday I submitted my petition demanding the removal of the 9:30am start time for disabled bus passes. ❌Disabilities don’t start at 9:30am & neither should disabled bus passes. 🤝Thanks to organisations supporting this campaign. Together, we’ll break down these barriers!

The DWP admitted 25 cases in one year where their own errors caused serious harm or death—missed suicide warnings, ignored calls for help, unsafe decisions. They said it after the vote. Will you listen on ‘substantial risk’ now? It’s about to get worse. tinyurl.com/3xwjmmw9

Honestly, the way this wonderful, ethical woman—who’s put herself out there to fight for disabled rights—is being framed as a hard-left extremist says everything about Starmer and what Labour has become. Nothing about her. All about power and its misuse.

People don’t seem to realise the slope with assisted dying. Yes, it’s a noble idea. But, once that legislative line is crossed, laws like this don’t stay narrow. The 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘦 will become a 𝙙𝙪𝙩𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙚. ✍️ Me @CatholicHerald thecatholicherald.com/articl…

Yesterday, I challenged the Work & Pensions Secretary over the failure to consult disabled people before announcing the biggest benefit cuts in a decade. PIP is an in-work benefit—those most affected must be heard. Reform should start with inclusion, not exclusion. youtu.be/mVjCQnqUmY8

Thanks to Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle @natalieben who has tabled a 'Motion of Regret' on the #binUCbill It cannot stop it, but it allows Peers to show their opposition to this attack on disabled people. lordsbusiness.parliament.uk/…

Calling all #Manchester disabled people and allies!!! I’m so honoured to be interviewing @RachelCDailey about her new brilliant books about the history of disabled people and activism. It’s a really interesting read! How we so often have to pull together to get rights.
